Today I am 36 years young! My aunt sent me the perfect text. You are not getting old. You're parents are! I love my family. They are there when I need them. Very supportive last year when I had my strokes. They are the greatest. Last year at this time I was in the hospital waiting to be released after having my second stroke. I flew to my hometown the next day and received so much love from my family. This year for my birthday I am keeping it low key. I will party hard next week when I go on my cruise with my best friend. Next year I hope to travel on my birthday. Either way I am happy to be 36. Happy to be alive.
