I woke at 5:30am. It was still dark. I woke to the sound of my daughter saying HI and the sight of her standing there in her usual attire with a scarf around her neck. Then she was gone. And I laid in bed pondering that sighting until I decided to just go on and get up. Jes was still in Colorado, and I had a birthday to celebrate! At 6:30 I took a photo of the sunrise over my neighbor's house. Walked to school at 8, worked all day and took the bus home. My dear colleague brought me red roses, and another cookies. I felt loved. When I got home Dan gave me the best present of all- he vacuumed the entire house! Then took me out to dinner at a fine restaurant in Shakertown. I got a ton of Facebook birthday wishes, and it was a good good day. Glad to be alive.
