One of the most worthwhile things I have done in my life is convince my BFF that birthdays are to be celebrated. Even when I wouldn't be seeing her, I would call on that day to sing "Happy Birthday". Given that I have a voice like a tone-deaf frog, it's a wonder she still answers my call every year. Tomorrow's event sounds like a tying up of generational loose ends. Or maybe creating new ones? Can't wait!!!

I used to hate birthdays. They were always depressing for me. I still think we'd all live longer if we didn't keep track of our ages, but when mine comes around now, I try to just have fun doing whatever I want.

Tomorrows stories (there are two, one larger story broken up into 2), are hugely tear jerking ones. And they introduce things never before seen.
