40th Birthday

It was PB’s birthday yesterday and being 40 and quite successful I might add – he should be really happy but this is also the first birthday without his mother.  For the last 39 yrs, Grammie had been baking him his birthday cake but this year Aunt Helena did the baking and we had a small celebration.  I write this with mixed feelings – bitter sweet actually, sad that the mother-in-law is no longer around but happy that Aunt Helena stepped up and is staying with us this holiday season.On the same note, PB is 40 – so I no longer feel that i’m that much of a cradle robber now – hahahah!
