Well, it’s February 16, again.

If you were reading last year at this time, you may remember me mentioning my friend Cheryl, whose birthday is today.

Isn’t it funny how some birthdays stay with you forever?

My mom – July 10 – even though my brother got married the same day, to me, that will always be “my mom’s birthday.” My brother – March 29.

My father – August 25. My first boyfriend – November 22. My friend Cheryl – today. People I haven’t seen in years, yet I remember them on their birthdays.

It’s kind of fascinating.
