Lovely post! Happy belated birthday. And you've assuaged some of my own anxieties about my upcoming birthday-while-on-sabbatical. Thank you!

Ok I teared up seeing your smile with that cake. Your parents are so sweet! 🥹

I agree I often feel like I’m making more effort coordination wise, as most of my friends are young moms at this point and can’t come to see me (I turned 36 in May). But it all comes around as you noted.

So glad you felt special on your birthday.

Aww thank you! My mom's really the MVP for researching the logistics on this one. Sometimes it's a thankless job but it pays to be the planner/connector friend!

Happy Birthday! What a lovely cake. In times of anxiety and getting older I love to remind myself and others “the best is yet to come!!”
