Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to my son and daughter!
17 years old today.
Two birthday cakes made, as always.
Cheesecake remains the all-time favourite.
Random reflections of the delivery room, great pain managed so well by a very loving and attentive husband/father. Dipping my hands into cups of ice-filled water most definitely distracted me from the angst of back labour. Telling the nurses that even though I was quiet and not moaning and groaning, I was most certainly ready to deliver. A man who knew me extremely well. And he still does in many way.
One cannot live with another human being for 21 years and not know them.
I admit that I did not share everything with him. Yes, I held many thoughts back.
The whole concept of being married to your best friend simply does not compute with me.
Yes, I know the love of a spouse. Yes, I know a wonderful life shared with my spouse. But, no, I do not know the “best friend” aspect in relation to my spouse. I can really only imagine it. And it was only a one-way street. He shared with me. He told me everything. I fudged over a lot of stuff in order to avoid either divulging my true feelings and becoming vulnerable to my own feelings, or to avoid divulging my true feelings and becoming vulnerable to his feelings. Perhaps a bit of both. I sure have no hesitation to bare and share my feelings with girlfriends nowadays. Makes me wonder.
Birthday celebrations tonight when I get home.
Happy Birthday to two of My Babies!
Man, gotta love them all.
