Happy Birthday To Us
|
Yesterday was my birthday, and it was also my husband Terry's birthday. Isn't that weird? We found out on the first day we met that we have the same birthday, and I can remember thinking then how strange it would be to be married to someone who had the same birthday as me (not that I was thinking then we'd be married - I thought he was a strange duck!) Anyway...the first few years it was kind of hard to get used to the idea because I wanted to be spoiled on my birthday but also to do nice things for him! For a while we took turns with the birthday cake - one year I'd bake one and the next year he'd buy one. This year - our oldest daughter is married and bless her heart, she cooked for us! Brought over lasagna and green bean casserole and a lovely chocolate cake, and some dear friends joined us for dessert and we had a wonderful evening. Today Terry took me shopping at my favorite clothing store and bought me a few items I really love. My dad called yesterday to wish me happy birthday and had us both in tears - he talked about remembering the day after I was born, how he stood in the hospital corridor with his mother, my dear Oma, who died in 1977 - looking at me through the nursery window (this was long before the day when everyone and his uncle is allowed to be in with the baby). Dad loved his mother so much and I think as he is getting old himself he misses her very much. I miss her too - she was such a sweet, wonderful woman and I wish I could have known her better - so we were both a little emotional! |
