I enjoy
birthdays tremendously and I love all the wonderful things that my friends and
family do to make the day special for me.
But I love even more what friends and family members do for my children's
birthdays.
One of my
children had a big birthday today and I was very touched by the efforts that
people made --during the busiest time of the year -- to make sure that her
birthday was not lost amid the Christmas rush.
My mother got her a special present and came to see her before she left
for school. Friends from out of town
sent a gift early. Her best friend
arrived at school before my daughter to decorate her locker. (Of course, she arrived early thanks to her
mother, who is not a morning person.)
And her godmother drove quite a distance with her daughter who is in the
middle of high school mid-terms to see her on the birthday. An outpouring of love, attention and kindness. Who could ask for more?
