Forty-five

Today is the forty-fifth anniversary of Herself's delivery into this world.  It has been a fascinating journey, difficult on occasion and surprisingly successful at other times.  Herself is just beginning to parse the meaning of her existence, and hopes she has many more years to contemplate all the secrets of the Universe.

She is grateful today in particular for her Loved Ones, for they make this odyssey bearable even in the darkest hours, and bring her more joy than she ever thought possible. Their greatest gifts to her are their acceptance of her love for them and their forgiveness of her human flaws.  She knows she cannot ever truly repay them; she hopes, though, that she has made their own sojourns a bit happier, and perhaps even a little bit easier.

We are looking forward to what the future brings.
