I was alone for most of the day today. Being my birthday and all, I was a little sad (and maybe I cried a little here and there...I mean, who wants to spend the bulk of their birthday alone?)
But before you feel too sorry for me, this little story as a happy ending.
You see I have a wonderful man in my life. His name is Jonathan. I just love him.
Why? For many reasons, but specifically today because (although he has birthday plans for me this weekend) he knew I needed a little cheering up on this day.
And he did this:
After work today he stopped, bought these and then planted them in this lovely planter for me. I've been oohing and aaahing these kinds of flowers for awhile and now they're in my home making a happy space by the window. It made me cry some more.
Yea, I do that a lot.
I really have the best one of all. He knows me well and it's such a gift.
Despite my weepiness and silly emotions, I have felt loved today. Not only from my sweet husband but my family calls and texts, my friends wall posts and my (twin) sister Melissa calling me. I really love sharing a birthday with that woman. And miss her like crazy.
Happy Birthday to us. We is old, Mel ;)
Your card and flowers are so pretty! Love you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! He knows how to pick the best things for me :) And I love you too!
DeleteOh, I feel so sad! If I'd know you where all alone....*sniff sniff*

Well I appreciate your concern for me, but I was alright :) Hey, maybe if I can make you feel sorry enough for me....you'll come visit......
