BIRTHDAYS

As I grew up with not
 having birthdays or Christmas I never got used to receiving as I got older.  I always found it easier to give.When I first worked at Jenny Craig in the early 80s I was given a gift of a porcelain doll as a Birthday gift , I had a cry. I still have the doll.
    So for my 40th some of my back there friends gave me a 40th Birthday with a surprise stripper. It was embarrassing but fun. That was my first birthday party.
So when Larry was not drinking he did have a kind heart and in 1996 he and his 2 daughter's gave me a surprise 50th party. This was so unreal and nice as it would be one of the last times I had time with my son Neb and his gay friends.  I had a nice time. So I appreciated very much for having a second party.
In 2001 I gave  myself a 55th birthday party at my place. Friends Darrel and Graham sang for me. Pat Ashton bought her Olympic torch for us to hold and have our photos taken. It was a lovely day.  Pat passed away a few years latter. Her sister was married to an ex Governor General. I miss her very much.
I went to Government House on a couple of occasions to do a few readings. I was friends with the Chafferuer who lived in the cottage on the Government House grounds.
  So I am so happy I had 3 birthday parties in my whole life.
Namaste.
