Special Delivery

Every year on my birthday I get a special delivery… a birthday card from a dead guy. Seriously.

So far, the cards have always been funny. This year’s said, “You’re officially closer to 30 than 20.” It was one of our inside jokes.

Part of me is glad he had the insight to do this. Part of me hates it. This year, I was comforted by it. I finally realized the point – no matter where I go, I never have to look back; the people I care about will always be right beside me.
