It’s my birthday today! This is the story I’m choosing to share with you.

My birthday feels strange because my grandmother is not here to see it. She passed away three months ago. Since I was seven, she’s been here for all my birthdays, but this will be the one she’s unable to see. Then again, we don’t know. I like to think that there’s the possibility that she’s watching me and the rest of the family. I’m not religious, but I think there are things we don’t know.
