My birthday through my daughter’s eyes

“To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world.” ~ Anonymous

“When all your desires are distilled
You will cast just two votes
To love more
And be happy.” ~ Hafiz

My daughter was overflowing with vibrant energy about life in general, but specifically about my birthday.  Since May 1, she has wanted to count down the number of days until the end of the month.  I cannot think what I could even liken it to…

M O M M Y to her is absolutely everything.  To celebrate Mommy for a day — well, “yes,” she practically vibrates, “let’s definitely do that!”

I got sand cakes, plastic cupcakes, serenades of all sorts of songs, a million soft embraces and sweet kisses, and endless smiles.  And that was by 8am!

My “official” interview of her:

How old am I going to be? Eleven twelve

How do you know? Daddy told me and then I member, k?

What should we do to celebrate? We’re going to get out our cupcakes for your birthday

Are you going to sing Happy Birthday to me? How about we sing Happy Birthday to everyone in the family?

Do you get personalized Notes From the Universe? It’s free and fun! Here’s what mine said for my birthday.  I felt SO GOOD reading it!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Naomi Wittlin doesn’t come along all that often. In fact, there’s never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You’re an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is. 

Quite simply: 

You’re the kind of person, Naomi,
Who’s hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you’ve met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don’t know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Naomi, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn’t know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won’t be alone!
