Ever since this entire affair started almost two years ago, I've been passing the time looking forward to small milestones. They can be anything that I thought I might never be able to do again; events that are large or small.
This past Sunday, Chris left me laying on the couch to go do some laundry. I must have fallen asleep, because an hour later he wasn't back and the facility is on site. I was preparing to take another nap when the doorbell rang. I found Chris standing on the other side of the door holding a birthday cake. He'd snuck off and surprised me.
So, I managed to live to 34 and I'm looking forward to 35 plus 30 or 40 more years.

Have a wonderful birthday, Ann. One of many to come, I'm sure. The most wonderful part will be sharing it with such a special person and having the bond you two have together. Chris, you are "beyond words" FAB!

Happy Birthday!!! I follow your blog but don't always stop by to say I am praying for a full recovery for you. I am from Baton Rouge, but live north of Houston now. So I feel we have something in common :-) Take care and hope you enjoyed your cake!
