today is my birthday
Twenty-three years ago, a very pregnant 17 year old girl named Kelly was missing her graduation day, because she was in the delivery room giving birth to a baby she knew she had to give away. For 9 months she'd grown to know me, and what she had to do to ensure I had the life she wanted me to have. She knew that the father of her child would never be completely responsible for his actions, and therefore she found it in her heart to do something that most women cannot. She gave me up for adoption.
Sometimes on my birthday I get emotional. I think what it was like for me to be 17, and to imagine how I would have felt being that young and pregnant. She carried a baby from a man of Hispanic decent, and that was totally frowned upon in small town Montana at the time. Her older brothers were extremely angry at him, and were constantly on the hunt for him. She grew up in a very catholic family with 7 other siblings, and walked the halls of a very small country town with a big, bloated belly. I think she may be one of the strongest women in the world. She went through a lot of public torment to carry me, to make sure I had a life, and to make sure I had a good one.
I have been very blessed.
Thank you to everyone who came out last night. All I ask on my birthday is that I see my friends. And that's what I got. Thank you so very much.
Silencia, myself and Lyxzen. Dewees and Ajilee were there in love and thought. But a makeup birthday will happen this coming weekend, when it's Ajilee's birthday. It's your turn grrrrl....

When I was driving my odometer turned 117777 today.
Just looking through my book marks I kept seeing 7s all over the place.
Then I noticed in your story there are a lot of 7s for that too.
I ended up leaving 7 different comments on members with 7 comments already left.
Okay, well maybe it's not that significant after all... For meaningful coincidences I'd only give this about a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10.
Two more comments and this could have the 77th comment too, but I won't try and force it. 75 is close enough.
Well I'm glad that girl named Kellybrought you into the world. I bet you are too!
