So I turned 20, like I do each year. OK, let me just say that I'm old enough to set the cake on fire! November 2nd, long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, at 5 am, a little girl was born. Last night, my mom and I stayed up very late and she told me about the day I was born. There's nothing like having your mom describe the day she went 'in' with her first kid, how she felt, becoming a mother. I'm not a kid anymore. There is something special about us now, being able to drink a glass of vine together, see a fantastic movie and bond like women. I lost my dad to cancer in September 2004, my beloved dog, Dari, in October 2001 and my very first cat, Maurice, last year, August 2007. This time of the year is difficult for me. I have not been able to celebrate a birthday for sometime. This year, I am thankful for my mother. I'm happy. With hope, good things are in store for me. This is a time to reflect, enjoy life, travel. After all, another year has come and gone so fast...
