Birthday's

I'm not big on celebrating birthday's. I'm not completely against it because I do enjoy it - - a little. Turning 30 this year has me bummed out a bit, but that was until I spoke with someone a few days ago who recently turned 49. Another birthday right? Not quite. He was tested positive for HIV back at the age of 27. So yea, another birthday that he didn't think he'd get. He didn't think he'd live to see 30, then 35, then 40 and now at the brink of 50, you can only imagine how happy he is. Cause for celebration indeed and certainly a re-evaluation of how I perceive birthday's now. So bring on another year older because like he said, life is so good and we should be grateful for another year given to us.
