Legacy Writing 365:86

One particular spring when I was in graduate school we had a lot of parties. That spring was a turning point in my life, and though I still had some wrinkles to iron out and plenty of challenging times ahead of me, I know it was then that I began to emerge from my run of bad mistakes and errors in judgment.

I’m not sure if this photo is from another party or from a big bash celebrating birthdays: Rhonda G’s (same day as mine), and Kathy S’s (different from the Kathy S here in Houston), whose birthday was the day before ours. But that three-person birthday party marked the occasion when Tom and I, who’d met a couple of months before, began our “courtship.” So I’d say it was probably one of the most significant parties–and birthdays–of my life.

In the back, Brad, Rhonda G, Tom, me, another Tom, and…his name fails me. If anyone from those years happens by, you’re welcome to refresh my memory. Kneeling in front of us, Michael R.

Thanks for the birthday cards, texts, emails, calls, flowers, and gifts. =)

    1. Thanks! It’s probably sitting at the post office now. I haven’t been since sometime last week.

      There’s nothing sad about it–no gift necessary any year, but particularly this year, I’d MUCH rather you have antibiotics and feel well again.
