Today I turned 61. I never had a birthday party on my birthday. We would have cake and Ice cream at Christmas for my birthday. Because it was too far for my relatives to drive back and forth.

I did have a few friends. But who would want to bring friends over when you didn’t know what the next move from either of your parents were going to be. At the time til I was 17 both of my parents were alcoholics and on my 16th birthday, my mom went off to have an affair til Jan with someone. My parent divorced when I was 19.

Like I didn’t even matter. I get wishes from others for my birthday which is a good thing. But it isn’t the same.
I feel like the 7 yr old on her birthday with her heart broken because she had no party.

So as you finish your day.. Remember there are people that hurt out there and really need to be shown you care on their special day.
