My Birthday
Tomorrow is my birthday. I never used to think that my birthday
affected me much when I was growing up.
I mean, I always…ALWAYS…thought about my mother on that day. I figured that if there was one day of the
entire year that she wondered about me, it was my birthday. But I never connected a conscious feeling of sadness
to that particular event, until about a year ago when I happened upon my 2nd
grade report card. I was completely
shocked, almost in disbelief, when I read my teacher’s comment from the last
grading period: “We had the problem of
extreme sadness for days over school closing and now this has switched to
something akin to anger. She’s a deep
little girl.”
