Here I am waiting for this date to end. It has been truly amazing. The greetings, the well wishers, I did not expect them all as I intended to be by myself this very especial day. My mobile kept ringing, my facebook and my ym were continually buzzing with greetings. How could the whole world have known it all? One of my cousins said its because I posted my birthdate in all my accounts. Well I acted as tho I did not enjoy all the attention!
When I attended the Holy Mass for Mama Mary's birthday I was surprised because everybody who knows me either poked me or whispered to say their greetings. How come? Most of them were not internet users. So I whispered to one, how did you know? and she said it is easy to remember. You shared the same birthday with the greatest woman who ever lived.
Boy, wasnt I lucky! But the feeling was tinged with guilt. I should not in anyway try to take one single moment of the worshipers' attention from her. But it wasnt my fault. Did my mother choose my birthday the way I did when I chose the birthday of my eldest child? Nobody is to blame of course. God willed me to be born on this day and I am happy everybody who meant so much to me remembered.
I did not have any celebration for my intention was to spend the day alone. With hubby of course. But things were not as I planned. I shared the day with many. Thanks to modern technology I was able to connect with relatives and my children. That is one blessing that I count. Somebody up there willed my life to reach this point, when a parcel from my son miles and miles away takes less than a day to reach me. and phone calls from my other children make them seem so near.
The world is wonderful, people are good, I am happy to be alive.
