55

That was how old my mother was when she died.

That is how old I turned yesterday.

My mother's birthday was April 7. Six days later was my birthday. Six days after that my mother died.

I remember our 30/50 birthday celebration-what a fun party! I am so sad that there is not a 55/75 party... I miss her so much.

However, given my own diagnosis, and that I was not sure I would live to 50, I am going to celebrate 55 all year long! Let me modify that, I am going to celebrate 55 feeling like I am 32. I am going to rock this year!

Wanna help?!
