...I spent some time today going back through my birthday cards. A lot of the folks were contacted by my mom after they appeared on my 365 blog, which has made me think back and say, "Oh sh*t, what did I write about them?" I got a card from Jay, telling me that he no longer has the mullet (thank GOD) and I got a card from Skid saying that his hair is still on fire (yikes). But the one that made me ugly cry was the very first one I opened, from my pediatrician.
With a bit of a shaky hand, he wrote, "Thank you for the honor of being Day #97 - how thoughtful and with such kind words.
It was, and is, my pleasure to serve as I am the fortunate one to have families such as yours to help.
Best wishes for a most exciting birthday and of course for the newest family member.
As always, phone for any questions and or concerns. Again and thanks and love."
I never really thought Jay, or Skid, or Howard would know what I wrote about them (good or bad) and it amazes me that they (and a lot of others) took the opportunity to write back.
