birthday
Yes, it's my birhday. I'm 23, and for the first time that sounds old to me. It's funny because I'm a person who thinks age is more than just a number. However, maybe getting older isn't such a bad thing.
I've realized that life, unfortunately, doesn't stop for birthdays. When we are children, this one day means everything. And while it is the anniversary of one's entrance into this world, every day should be a celebration, because time just doesn't stop for that perfect day. We need to enjoy every second, every moment that we are blessed enough to be happy and be with each other.
Today is about taking charge of my life and realizing that I have the power and the choice to do whatever I can imagine. Today I am going to write out the plan for the next months, the next year, and perhaps the next few years. It will feel amazing to experience this first step in moving my life forward.
So much has happened in the past week and a half, but this journal does not seem fitting or appropriate for writing about such monuemental, heart-wrenching, beautiful and difficult things. All I will say here is that I am glad I got to be there for a person, and a family, who mean the world to me.

I watched you give of yourself so unselfishly and love so unconditionally the person who means everything to you, during her life and after it. My heart was changed just for hearing your words and being there for you during this time in your life.
You were right yesterday when you said "There is a difference between love and real love." Now more than ever, I know what real love is.
