dear my damned day of birth diary,
everybody has one. i happen to have two. you'll understand (hopefully) momentarily. i came out on the 136th or 137th day of the year (depending on if it was a leap year or not and i am not sure if it was that year but it isn't this year i know that much) so that is what my papers say that came with me- they say- TRIXIE WEST 7LBS7OZ 21'' LONG BORN AT 3:33AM ON THE 136TH (OR 137TH) DAY OF THE YEAR. and that's just how i was known to everyone. but not to my mom and dad. yep, i was still trixie west, but i had two birthday's. they didn't get me til i was eleven days old- picked me out from a buncha kids in cribs- i'd always imagined- altho i knew better. we always celebrated my birthday twice- the day i was born and the day i was received into our family. day 147 (or 148) was always as special as my birthday. my mom always said a warm prayer to God and gave a special thanks to my birth mother for giving her the daughter she'd always dreamed of. there will be 229 days left after my birthday is over- of this year anyway. and then we start 2012. if time is running out- who will be left to count the days?
