The last couple of years, my birthday has been a "special day" in one way or another. Two years ago, my Great Grandpa Stromberg, whom I was close to passed away. At first this seemed like really bad timing. I was so sad that it happened on my 21st birthday. However, as time passed and I thought about it more, it now seems like a special connection that he and I share. On the same day, we both stepped through the veil...just different ends of it.
Last year, my birthday was on a Sunday. Tyler had been born on September 27, so he was just over a month old. It worked out perfectly to bless my beautiful infant son on my 22nd birthday. This was very special to me. Both sides of my family were able to gather together to join the celebration of his birth, and nothing could have been a better birthday present! That was a great day!
This year, it was "special" in a different sense of the meaning. Yesterday, we were able to cast our votes for a new President of our country. All year people have been counting down to Nov. 4th. For me, they were just reminding me how many days until my birthday! :) I had an enjoyable day, amid the election chaos.
Birthdays are your special day, and I've been so grateful to share my special day with so many historic events, both personally and nationally. However, I think I am excited for next year to have the day to myself!
