I felt compelled to write the blog today, so I could thank you all for the best wishes, cards, and gifts. I've never been given so much attention on my birthday in all my 63 years ( and I was just looking at pictures from my 7th birthday party the other day....you looked so cute Ruth Ann)
I really felt well today......maybe because it's my Friday off from chemo, but for whatever reason, I'll take it. I forgot to bring my sleeping pills with me, but I still had a good night's sleep and slept in this morning, as I knew I would get no nap today. Dave and I went to a funeral today with my good friend, Claudia, for the mother of an old friend of mine from teenage years. I think he was shocked to see me, as we haven't seen each other in at least 30 years. His mom was my 4-H leader and lived to just a few months short of 90.
I didn't get to visit with son Jim today ( we share this birthday) as he was sick. I couldn't believe he could get sick on one of our few birthdays of being in the same state (I'm usually in Florida in March). I just have to be careful not to be around any sick people right now, so it's a bummer.
Well, thank you again so much for making this birthday special. You are all special to me!
Love and gratitude..........Linda

Linda!
Dave just added me to his Facebook! How are you doing?? I miss you both so much! I think about you all the time. I want to wish you a very happy (belated, oops) birthday!!! I hope you are doing well! Stay positive Linda, we are ALL pulling for you :)
Heather.

So glad you've had a great birthday, Linda! You deserve it. Keep having fun... your birthday isn't over, until you say it is.
Love to you both, as always.
I've long subscribed to the 'birthday month' school of thought. Keep on celebrating!
Love,
Mary
We are counting on many-many more happy birthdays for you Miss Linda! But glad you had a good one.
As for you Mr. Dave...I think your in big trouble for posting that pix!

Okay, Dave, if you need a place to stay after posting that picture, you are welcome to ......oh, never mind. I know Linda won't kick you out. Linda, as always, it was good to hear from you. Thanks for sharing your birthday with us.

ack!!! I missed it! Happy belated, B'day, L. May the best you felt on your birthday be the worst you feel all this year and all the years to come!!!
And L. Hays' affirmation seems rather fitting for a B'Day Gal...
Joy and happiness are at the center of my world.
May that be always so for you, Linda. Wrapping you in that warm golden glow of healing love!!!

I'm with Mary, it is a birth month.
I'm so sorry for the cooties that I gave Jim. It has been forever since I've seen him sick. We will call you later today. Jeff and I went to my nieces volleyball game this morning while Jim slept. It was good to see him.
Kisses.
Say, I like the way that Mary thinks. We celebrated mom's birthday for a week but a whole month idea sounds better to me.
Glad it was a happy day for you. I thought of you all day, even though my fingers were typing elsewhere.

Linda,
I was up in Oregon last week and went to visit Jim and Carolyn Z. They told me your situation and Carolyn forwarded the blog. Wow. I didn't know. You have my sincere regards to your health and it sounds like you are doing a great job in handling this. We were talking about our 45 year reunion and hope that you will be there. If you want to email me, I am at jblosser@cox.net. So long for now. Jon Blosser
