February 5th is my Baby's Birthday!
Kathrina has been around a few years and for peace between us, I'll not give you the years. If you ask her she will probably tell you.
Her Dad and I took her out for a special dinner and presented her with roses, which she really liked. She loves kittens, and has shortened her name to "Kat" because of that. So, what better gift than: a pretty little calendar with lots of kitty pictures.....
She was born at 4:20 p.m. and after she moved out of our home, if she was not with us, I always get a telephone call from her at precisely 4:20 p.m. with the words: "Hi, I'm HERE!!! Thanks!"
I usually reply to that: yes, I know, I remember it very well, and "you are welcome". Then we giggle a little and go on our ways. But it takes me a few minutes to get back to what I was doing because I start to remember all the things she did, the way she looked, when she was just so small....
Remembering is sometimes very good for the soul. It puts some perspective on where you have been, what you have done and where you are now. So, after wiping the tears off my face, I go about my business, but with a slower pace.
It is always a joy and a surprise to hear from her at that particular time. None of my other 2 daughters remember to do this and I hope she will never forget to call ME on HER birthday!
Happy Birthday, Baby, I'll always love you.
Until Next Time,
Hugs,
Mom / Nanabear
