Happy Birthday! Loved this post! Birthdays were never a big deal in my family but I love celebrating them. My most memorable birthday was when my husband and I were dating. We were both broke and right out of college. He bought me this sweater from the GAP that I had loved but couldn't afford. As I was modeling my new sweater, my hubby said, "That'll look great for your party tomorrow night." My response was, "What party?" My roomates were throwing me a surprise party the next night since I'd never had a real birthday party. When he realized he'd given away the secret, the look on my husband's face was priceless and adorable! He felt so bad and the next day, he had some friends convice me the party was cancelled. I arrived home later that day to a house full of guests and an awesome birthday party! My roomates had even gone to the trouble of inviting friends they knew I hadn't seen in a long time. It turned out great!

Happy Birthday again Baby Doll! This is such an amazing post, you still know how to bring a tear to my eye whether it's your words, your singing or your writing. I LOVE the canvas quote it's beyond words fantastic! You never cease to amaze me in your resilience at life and perspective and you never cease to teach me life lessons. I continue to thank God for having you in my life and wish I could wave a hand to wipe away the years we have lost to being busy with life and not making time for each other. I would give anything to go back to college and dance the night away with you again! As for my best birthday gift it has to be my 29th birthday when I found out the baby I was carrying had a heartbeat, finally! After 3 losses it was complete elation to finally have a heart beat. My husband surprised me with the ultrasound on the table next to my favorite ice cream cake. Then to make the story even better, Patience, Steve & Cooper came over the next day for left over cake. Of course we weren't telling anyone yet based on our unfortunate history but Cooper walked into the guest room to get a book from the collection we had started for our first baby that we lost and turned to me and said "so when is the baby due". Tom and I were at a lost for words and just started crying. Ironically Tom and Patience also share the same birthday. Ode to the Frankl's, God's gift to us all . . . =-O

Happy Birthday to you! My best birthday was my 30th because my family threw a surprise birthday party and I had NO idea. I was having a hard time with turning 30 and this made it all the better.

Thanks.

The summer before my senior year in college I was getting ready to celebrate my birthday. I was living in another state and had just lost a family friend to a tragedy. I was having a hard time dealing with being away from my loved ones. I decided that I'd make a cake for my birthday. When I got home my roommates had already done so and they gave me a little surprise party! Then my best friend from home called and said she wished she could be there to celebrate with me... as we were talking she was at my door (a 3 hour drive from out of state) We had the best night and she spent thenight and then left super early to go to work. A great birthday!

This may sound "sappy"; but, the best birthday gift is always the possible gift of the next year. Does that make sense... I either recieved the best gift the prior year of the coming year or I will receive the best gift of the coming year on my next birthday... being here on earth with family & friends for another year is a gift in itself. Happy Birthday to you .... you inspire me to do better, be better and to continue on. Thanks

Happy Birthday sweet girl :) I hope you had a wonderful day today. Wonderful post. What I admire is that what doesn't grow old, despite everything else, is your words.

In grad school, all of my classmates went with me for a day of tubing on the river, twice because we had so much fun the first trip through, and then we went and ate pizza and drank beer and played pool.

Happy Birthday. I love your work. The most memorable birthday gift I've ever received was my youngest sister who was born on my birthday. We've had a special connection ever since.

Happy Birthday Sara! My most memorable was last year when my daughter Kaitlyn was born. Her due date was December 28- a day before my birthday- but she ended up coming 2 weeks early on December 14th. It was by far the best birthday ever being home with my beautiful new gift from God to love and care for! Thaks for the awesome giveaway!

My most memorable was 6 years ago. I spotted the daily special on QVC right before I went up to sit with my dad in the hospital. It was a beautiful outfit - I picked royal blue. A skirt and top. My mom ordered it when she went home to rest. My dad just barely got to see me model it before he died 8 days later. I still have and wear the outfit.

I think my favorite birthday gift every year is the small get together my family throws for me. We sit around and enjoy the company and have so much fun! :-D
