Today is my birthday again. Another lucky year.
I will probably spend the evening counting my blessings rather than my candles. While this sounds really cheesy as I type, I mean it. After picking up my daughter from ballet, I will meet my wife and son at the kids' school. We will go to Whole Foods for dinner so that everyone can choose their own dinner and I can eat a whole chicken with my hands. Afterwards, we can shop for lunches.
I have wanted to parent as long as I can remember. Today I also remember the families who are not as fortunate, whether they must visit gravesites or old memories.
