I'll be 44 this weekend. I usually LOVE my birthday, but now that I'm a Grandmom (Mimi) and I'm getting older, maybe I shouldn't get so giddy about it all.
Chystal Chick, I view every day a blessing and every Birthday as a gift as well.My Dad was just 58 when he was called home in 1984 My Mom was 73 when she was called home.Grand Children are a blessing as well.We were not able to have children.
