I turned 29 years old yesterday. It was just like any other day, and I wasn't expecting anything since I haven't really celebrated my birthday for the past 10 years. I was kinda expecting people to greet me through Facebook since FB has this birthday reminder thingie. What I didn't expect though is to be remembered by people who doesn't have FB, two of my former students. Former students and forever friends who are already teachers themselves, and living (and working) in a place where there is no Facebook or anything else to remind them about my birthday. Yet they remembered. It's friends like them who make ordinary days into extra-special ones.
I thank the Lord for giving me another year. I am not asking much, just the chance to right all the wrongs I've done in my life, and to watch my daughter grow up to be the beautiful person that she is right now.
Never fear growing old; there are many who have never had the privilege.
