Shhhhh....Don't tell ANYONE that it's my birthday this Saturday, Sept. 19th!!
As my birthday approaches I can't help but think that I wasn't quite sure I would make it to another birth-day. I also fondly and lovingly remember how my dad would tell everyone he came in contact with (just days before his birthday) (every year) to squash any plans that people might be making. He would say, "If you hear of anyone making special plans for my birthday, squash them." You could say, he loved attention. You might say, I take after him.
O.K., so cut me some slack. It's been 9 months of cancer treatment, and 9 months of being out of work. I'm in my 5th week of radiation, with just one more week to go. I'll be done with radiation on October 1st. I'll continue with Chemo every 3 wks. until January with more surgery to follow.
Now do you see why I might be looking forward to a happy celebration!!!!!
Those of you that are Blaque Lyte fans. They will be playing this Monday, Sept. 21st at the famous "Scullers Jazz Club" in Boston. They are in a band contest at the club that evening.
Would you believe my little Alex will be 3 years old after Nini on October 4th??
His mommy Alyssa celebrates her day on Halloween. My girlfriend Marilu celebrates her day this month. However, this year was very special falling on 9-9-09. She had the right idea when she had a celebratory party that night. It reminded me of when I had my own 40th birthday party just a few short years ago!!!
One thing I have learned through my journey, is that Life is for Living! So remember, If you hear of anyone planning to call me or e-mail me to say Happy Birthday, squash it!!!!

ReplyDeleteHey Theresa,
ReplyDeleteI should have known there was a reason you're so special...you share the same birth date as my sister Janice. You two have (had) a lot of similarities...mainly your strong will!!! I won't ever forget that your birthday is the 19th now, I'll just see Janice in your smiles...thanks for sharing your secret...Have a wonderful day.
Love,
Anne and Scott
