It was my fortieth birthday today. I was the recipient of a surprise party. I didn't even get a clue till the fourth person showed up with presents and food. And the fifth and the sixth and the...many?
I'm forty; have some blackberry wine and some old family stories. Laugh till your stomach hurts. Cry a little. Hug a lot. Wonder what all this means. Decide it doesn't matter and eat some chocolate cake. It'll all sort itself out in the end.
Good times.
birthday,
