As a general rule, I do not make a big deal over my own birthdays. They have not been all that important since I turned 16. 😇
Especially so this year, there are much bigger things that are more important.
Also, I fully subscribe to Bro. Kenny Morris’ description of the dichotomy of birthdays.
You have to have birthdays to keep living, but if you have too many birthdays they will kill you. 😇😍
However, this year my cousin Lisa Isaacs informed a bunch of our family and the Dodds church that it was my birthday and she asked them to send cards.
Because of that, I received cards not only from Dodds but from probably dozens of cousins and other family members that I have not heard from for years.
It was a very pleasant surprise and I appreciate all of the cards and love. I also appreciate cousin Lisa for loving us and thinking of us always.
Over the last three weeks we have also received cards, letters, phone calls, texts, emails and maybe even a few smoke signals wishing our family well as we journey through this stroke and the aftermath. The messages are still coming at a furious pace and we appreciate all of the love, concern and prayers toward God on our behalf.
Thank you, dear friends. We feel the love.
Davy
