Dear zoya--
ReplyDeleteI really loved how you universalized the birthday experience. 'Feeling the night and day' gets easier for me with each passing year...I feel the weight of the passing days, but they weigh less, even while I know with more certainty that each one counts, much more than we know.
Thank you for this lovely post, and my sincere apologies for not posting a comment until now. My bad!
Hope you had a good birthday, zoya--and, as you say, many happy returns!
luv u beth ! ,
