Today is my eldest child, Ben’s, birthday (he’s 27 today!) and he’s not home. He’s away on a business trip and I haven’t even been able to connect verbally to him —I’m missing him so much…Not being able to say “happy birthday”…is something that seems totally un-natural to a parent, especially a parent that was given their greatest wish, the day that this child was born.
“No worries” (I keep telling myself…). “His birthday dinner is coming (this Friday).. late…but, I trust, it will be great just the same.
Benjamin, my darling son, I love you so very much. You are a joy from bottom to top–a gift in the truest sense. Happy, happy birthday.
