Wow what an amazing week it’s been, and I can only process it all now that the week is over and I have had some down time to take it all in and get my mind wrapped around the events of this past week.

My birthday was last Wednesday, and I like many others just prefer to spend the time with those closest to me, I ask for no gifts, and just enjoy a quiet time of reflection and soak up the love of my wife and daughter who are my everything.  It’s nothing special, just another day to me, and I am happy to just get up, go to work, come home and have a nice dinner with my girls.  Inevitably though people who care about you will do tremendously kind things for you, either by getting gifts, giving thoughtful cards, or celebrating you and the impact you have made in their lives.  And I guess part of this post will discuss my impression of those kind gestures and what they mean to me.
