In ten minutes I'm going to begin my 30th year. Its a rather strange though, twenty nine years ago right now, I was a wee little thing inside some random seven-teen year-olds womb. I wonder if I'll ever actually meet her. The records say she was a single mother (duh! she was 17!) still in highschool. She had a real talent for mathematics and music, who had an "accident" with an eighteen year-old mill worker. OOPS!
I found the birthday card while I was cleaning out some of my fathers crap this summer. I've known I was adoped as long as I can remember, but I never saw any of that memorabilia. My mother (crazy as she is) claims to have shown it to me, but I remember a time when she absolutely refused to even entertain the notion of a time before they carried me off the airplane.

Happy Birthday, dear heart. To you and your cowlick. :)

Here's to you and that fateful day that a herd of cows broke into the hospital and mistook you for a salt lick.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday hon. I hear your 30's make you 20's look like a fog. Clarity comes at 30, so I have heard. Hopefully you'll find that.

Happy birthday, Michael!
I dragged my ass off the couch to make sure I posted this message.
This is a big thing-- my ass is NOT draggable.
