Today is my birthday.
And while I am truly grateful for another trip around the sun, since Dominic left us it’s not a simple celebration of life lived and the hope of years to come.
The last birthday I had with an unbroken family circle was a lovely surprise party for my fiftieth held in Dom’s apartment.
Nine years later and it seems a lifetime ago.

A little late as usual Melanie but I do hope you found some joy in your special day.
I was recently my 70th and couldn’t find it in me to have a big celebration. I seemed to hark back to my 60th when Luke played a set and then his brother join him for them both to sing to me.
I did enjoy the day and do have good memories of it stored. I hope you do too.
Sending my love across the ocean.
