29 FOR THE FIRST TIME
Yes, Becky, I stole this from your Facebook.
The first thing I did this morning upon turning on my computer was conduct a Google search. “Today in history” was the search term, and I was suddenly inundated with countless hits – everything from France declaring war on Spain in 1718 to Richard Nixon’s birthday and even a plane crash. Nothing, however, seemed comparable, fitting or even worthy of why January 9th is exceptional.
What all of these Google hits failed to mention is that today is one very special girl’s very special birthday. (It’s also Schillinger’s birthday – that guy from Oz – but we won’t go there.)
Being that I was unable to find anything fitting or comparable, I took a trip down memory lane and looked to what I wrote last January 9th. It’s funny how the sentiment hasn’t changed and much has stayed the same, if not become even better.
In a city where good people who are worth their weight in gold are a precious commodity, I have found a friend in Rebecca. Whether in business or friendships or making personal choices for herself, Rebecca is a woman who conducts herself with confidence, integrity and a little dash of sauciness.
Good friends are the family you choose, and as we each become one year older on our birthdays, it becomes easier to reflect on what’s important. Surrounding yourself with people who bring out your best, listen to you, encourage you and are comfortable enough with themselves to allow others to return it back to them are key.
Rebecca, on this – your birthday – you need to know that you are loved and celebrated. I thank you for showing graciousness, patience and understanding. I praise you for being a respectable, admirable and well-rounded woman (with fantastic ta-tas). You have touched many lives in both enormous and little ways, not unlike Tinkerbell with her magic wand. Enjoy everything that 29 has to offer and every adventure that this next year brings your way.
I kinda love you.
(P.S. I promise I won’t ditch out on your birthday for Michael Bublé this year!)
