One Month Away...

[white_tiger]

Today makes it official-to me, anyway. Within one month from today, I will reach an age I truly didn't see myself making, especially after what I've went through a number of years ago. That stuff being my leg, having surgery on my head, and what happened on Christmas in 2002 concerning the dog. I should feel happy about it, and probably will be as the day grows nearer, but at the moment...I'm not sure how I feel about it. It could be a case of uncertainty, or doubt. Still, I hope it will pass.

I managed to make it through May 13th with ease, and enjoyed my cousin's birthday party; she's now officially nine years old. On Mother's Day, I was successfully able to buy my mother a journal, though not just any regular journal-it was a Footprints journal, since when I was younger, I always remembered her enjoying it and having a calendar with it. (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a link to see what I mean.)

I also went to my grandmother's grave with my mother and grandfather, and gave her a rose. I'll never fully get over losing her, but know she's at peace and that is something to be thankful for.

I'm going to a baseball game with one of my friends this evening, and my mother and grandfather may-or may not-be joining us. I just hope the Charlie Brown team can pull the proverbial wool over my eyes and win again.

My mom had a Footprints poster.

And congrats on getting old!

That's nice to know. How long did she have it?

And congrats on getting old!

...Thanks. I'll be 25 in exactly one month.

Not sure. I remember it used to be on the closet door in her bedroom.

And wow, you're older than me. Heee. Only by five years, but that's cool. Here's to many more!
