Happy birthday, Marie!
Kodomono toki (or, when I was a child), I loved having my birthday. One of the earliest birthdays I remember was when I was 5, and i got Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls (and an Ann dress to match). I never really had a party – just once that I remember, when I was in kindergarten, and it was just a few people – but I loved getting presents and having cake. Plus, it meant that Christmas was only a few days away.
I remember some great birthdays along the way: the year I turned 19 (that was the drinking age at the time, and I went out at midnight to get the free drinks)…the year I turned 21 (because the drinking age changed and I had to become of age again, so out at midnight I went)…the year my husband gave me an hour or oral sex (and that was one of the best presents ever)…
I remember some sad birthdays too…
Now I look at my birthday as a way to mark getting older…although according to my cake’s candles, I am actually getting younger every year….sometimes I feel that way…..and I love celebrating the birthdays of those I love, with them.
