The upcoming birthday ...

Has been on my mind a bit lately. And please, this is not a fish for presents or anything, just thoughts about hitting a near milestone and not really sure how to feel about it.
Parts of my life don't give away the fact that I'm closing in on 39. I don't sense that I'm that old. Having a 1-year-old probably helps.
I do think about my folks sometimes. I don't think my Dad had any parents still alive by this age, though my grandmother might have passed just before he reached it.
The best I think I can do for Jadyn is tell her what I think they'd have said to her, and tell her about their work ethics, concern for family and friends, funny stories, anecdotes and anything else important. Most of all, I know they'd love her and express it in the best ways they could.
I'm glad we have Amanda's folks and all of our extended family, to include those who are family by birth and marriage and the others by unofficial adoption, to love on her and help us raise her.
I think this brief bout of insomnia is over. Back to bed.
