1 year today

I am feeling a little nuts today. Not only is today my Aunt Cindy's birthday, its also the 1 year anniversary of my Uncle Johnny's passing. Where did the time go? I know a lot of my family is feeling a tad down about things. I feel sad for my Grandma and Grandpa, but more than anyone, Cindy. How unfair! But you know what? If she isn't asking that question, why should I? She can look at the bright side of things. She can see the day for what it really is and go about it as if it were just another. That is sad to me because she too deserves a celebration. Its weird how life works. The day we celebrate ones birth, we morn ones loss. It's a real eye opener.

This blog wasn't meant to be a downer. I wanted to focus more on my crazy, one of a kind, one in a million more like, Aunt Cindy. I wanted her to know that although I am sad about my uncle, her baby brother, I am thinking of her today. I want her to know that when I think of her, no matter what is going on in my day, I will smile. She makes me laugh hysterically, to the point of being breathless and in tears, always has kind words, always has a joke or awesome quote to cheer you up. She always lets me know she loves me and that we, family, are important to her.

I thought I would share some of my favorite pictures of Cindy on her special day. Happy Birthday Cindy! We all love you!
