On the day of my 28th birthday, my mother said to me (this is starting to sound like a country song),

You have always been a rebel. You always feel a need to go in and shake things up. It makes you feel alive.

After more than half a century of fighting it, Mum finally got it. When she put it as succinctly as she did, it came across as a revelation to me. It’s something I’ve always known, but never heard it said out loud.

Sometimes mothers know us better than we think they do eh? Happy birthday. :) Are you really only 28? We’re the same age. Thought you were older.

Happy Birthday! I didn’t realise you are a fellow October baby!

Happy Birthday to you.. old boy

Que sera, sera…

Happy 28th.

As a mother myself, I must say, your thoughts are higher than your age! Hopefully, your waist does not increase as your age does - plus one per year.

Been reading yr blogs, good reads. Happy birthday!
