Talking with Cris on her birthday yesterday …
… burst a balloon of memories like the hole left in our home when she went off to graduate school, toddler tumbling on the living-room floor with her two younger brothers, a fun and proud Detroit Vanguard Theater afternoon ruined by an officiousCanadiancustomsofficer (all one word), and abruptly stopping laughing and giggling when she realized she’d taken her first steps on her own in a small apartment we rented in another galaxy.
There were more but that’s how they started.
I Just Celebrated . . .
. . . my 83rd birthday.
And most folks still ask: “How does it feel to be 83 (or wotever age you hit)?”
My answer is still the same — “Short and fat.”
Birthdays should be celebrated…
… as I did mine this week, but the days in between are pretty special, too.
