Although celebrating one's birthday should be a high and mighty occasion, I've come to realize that I prefer to keep it low-profile and with family.
When people remember that it is indeed my birthday, (even if it's through Facebook or MySpace), and wish me a happy one, it never ceases to cheer me up.
As I get older, I keep seeing the differences between having one parent and two. The differences are subtle, but they are there.
Although it makes me a little bit sad to think about, (just a little), it's comforting to know that everyone else in my life makes up for it.
