Celebrations

One of the hard things about being apart is that you do not get to celebrate all the important occasions together. It is not always possibel to be together for both birthdays, anniversaries, christmas etc. But this time I got to be here for Mike's birthday.
We didn't waste a minute of it - in fact we celebrated for more than a day. As usual we didn't do anything extravagant. As corny as it sounds, it is true that we are so grateful to just be together that walking around the mall is a thrill for us.
Not only was the chance to celebrate a birthday together deeply significant, but it also made us think about growing old and appreciate our present health and good fortune.
We agree to sit down and make a list of all the things we must do in the next five years.
