A Quarter Century
Today was my 25th Birthday and I have to say it was pretty AWESOME! I got to spend the evening prior to my birthday Salsa dancing with several good looking men. Upon reaching my office my coworkers serenaded me with Happy Birthday. At AGCHO the English/Dari words of the day was Happy Birthday Bebe Sarah. I got to have dinner with a close friend and am about to go spend the evening watching movies curled up on a comfy couch. That alone would have been enough to make me happy, but there is more. First, my birthday package from my parents and family arrived on my Birthday, it could not have been any more perfect then that. I am super excited about all of my fun new games and my Lego man electric tooth brush! Thank you all! In addition to that for the last few days I have been getting emails from people from all over the US wishing me a Happy Birthday. Today I was bombarded with Birthday wishes. I feel so touched and overwhelmed by all of the people who took the time to wish me a Happy Birthday. It has truly been an amazing day.

ReplyDelete25 years ago I would never have believed it if I was told my baby girl Sarah would be living and working in another country on her 25th birthday. I would have screamed, "No, not MY baby!" But life with you, Sarah, has been anything but dull. You take the tiger by the tail, throw it over your shoulder, and move on to your next experience, smiling because you have accomplished one more thing on your bucket list. You always have had a heaping bucket!! You have helped me earn every grey hair on my head, and caused me to often wonder "Why???". To be completely honest, I love and admire your genuine sense of adventure, your willingness to go completely out of your comfort zone, (and time zone as well) to go places where you know not one soul, and leave with tons of new friends. You make me smile, shake my head, and say, "That's my girl!" and I feel so blessed God gave you to us a short 25 years ago. Mothering you has been an adventure in itself. Happy Birthday,Sweetie. Keep following your heart, and use that beautiful brain along the way too.
