My Birthday Potluck

Last night was my Birthday Potluck. I can’t remember a time when I’ve heard a group of people sing Happy Birthday so loud, and having a group of friends serenade me has never meant as much as it did last night.
I don’t know where to start when trying to describe how I’ve felt over the past week. Simply, I’ve missed Jarrett a lot. For nearly twenty years we celebrated our birthdays together. It was really hard to not be able to do that this year. But, my amazing friends made me feel very loved (and not alone) this week. Last night was the perfect birthday celebration because of the people I got to spend it with - people who bedazzle with me, make me star-shaped tie-dye cupcakes and want to be part of my life, even when things are painful.
