Today I turn 41.
Next week brother James turns 40. If mom was alive, she would be 69 years old. It is an exciting time for the family. It has been a while since we used to celebrate together. I get to celebrate for 6 days then it is time for mom and James birthday. It then is a few months before Carol's birthday (September). Sometimes it is fun having a brother so close in age but I wish he was closer to "normal" than he is. I also wish Mom was still here to help with everything that has happened with him. If gets irritating not having a voice, but caring so much. She (sister) does not really hear and does whatever she wants. We are also limited since she handed him over for "foster care" he is now a ward of a state weather we like it or not. I think they test out drugs on people like him who have no more say in how they are treated. We try to tell them what to do, but they no longer listen either.
I have had today a few people telling me happy birthday. It is nice, but most of them I have not seen in years and a birthday is not enough to see them. I may just have to do something to celebrate tonight. I may ask hubby to take me to dinner out. Will have to wait until he gets home from work.
