Thank you

So I was overwhelmed today. Like seriously, it was my bday as of about 15 minutes ago, and up until 30 minutes ago, people were wishing me well. I had no idea so many people even knew about my bday, let alone would go out of their way to express their congratulations. I was suprised by a few people even from HS who remembered. As the day progressed all I could do was say thanks be to God who blessed me with all you guys and gals, and I just hope I can be half the friend to all of you, the way you have been friends to me. Man, I didn't do a single thing today, didn't get any material gifts, and didn't even get a chance to use my ID, but it was possibly the best bday ever simply cause there was love. Love in a way I hadn't seen it before....expressed through the recognition of the beauty of life. I didn't ever think birthdays were a big deal, I mean they were fun and there are plenty of memories from bdays, but only this time did I realize that people weren't just calling or texting me to congratulate me on a milestone, but on the gift of life I share with all of you guys. This life is precious enough that we spend extra time per person to show our appreciation for their existence. I know I cant tell each of you how much you mean to me, or how much it meant to have you just say "Happy BDay!!" but thank you. thank you from the bottom of my heart and maybe in the future I will have the opportunity to return the act of love. Peace
