I guess you might say I’ve crossed the finished line. Today makes me a day older than yesterday. Yep, I’m 25, mid-twenties. Some might say, my NBSB status does my single status no good. Others consider my age the starting line where I have to position myself before they shout “ready! Set! Go!”. As for me, I’m like standing in that straight line half wishing that I could stay behind the line and live as carefree or as easy as I could, the other half though, doesn’t want to be left behind so I guess it will most likely do something to go with the flow.
Anyhow, none of these tells much about how I spent my birthday this year. Normally, I spend my birthday church hopping, meeting my girlfriends and mostly Christmas gift buying. This year however, I wasn’t able to buy any. I spent most of my day at the hospital, Chatting with my Ate’s, doing Achi’s hospital paperworks. This year we are blessed with a new member of the family, who couldn’t wait another hour or so to come out to the world so we could have had the same birthday. Yes, this year Shobe came to world a day before my birthday. This year on my birthday I stared at babies and prayed for babies and mothers.
I spent my day with one of the bravest person I know in my life: My Achi. To describe how much I come to I see her as a brave person would take much time and space. But in a line, I would definitely have to say, I can not imagine being even half the brave person that she is. Though, I dream to learn and I dream to be, I am very much happy and proud to know that she has become who she is.
This year on my birthday, I saw new life on Earth. I saw strength unimaginable to me. I spent it not so much like my “usual” birthday but like any normal day, plus the hospital paperworks. Yes, I still have my share of endless greetings which never fail to lighten me up, I still had time to drop by my favourite churches, I still was awake from 12 to 12, I still have my best girlfriends everlasting love as each year they make it an effort to see me wherever I was even for just five minutes. I found new friends. I wasn’t able to buy any gift, but I was still able to give. This year on my birthday, I gave my time, the only thing I have most, to my family. Yes, I am blessed.
On this birthday blog, I have got to say that there is a simple quiet gladness in my heart.
