As Edward “Ed” and I sat waiting for the fireworks to begin the other night, I mentioned to him how the fourth festivities and this time of year was always exciting and important to me when I was a kid. And the reason? Once the fourth of July had passed, it was just a few days until my birthday. Funny how time passes and the older you get those same feelings from childhood have long faded. Never fear, I’m thankful I’m healthy and happy and most importantly, still here to enjoy my birthday, but it certainly doesn’t cause the excitement for me as it once did. Those were good times back then, no real worries and reminiscing the other night was good; still smiling in fact, as I sit here typing this tonight.
