deep in the ocean, there lies a wave for you

Remember this?

Today’s a bit rough, as most big “milestone” days are now. Last year, we spent my entire birthday in the hospital at NIH. We set the date for Clark to start the treatment he never got to have, and then he had a blood transfusion that lasted until 10 p.m. When we got home, I made a quick dinner and we both passed out. The year before, we were still just post-diagnosis and still reeling from that. So it’s been a while since I’ve had a nice birthday, and I miss Clark so much today. But I had lunch with Jason, and Erie is just about to arrive from Ohio, and I’m going to dinner, and going to the Black Cat to see the Ruby Suns. I will also see a majority of the people I love today, and that’s what’s important. The sun is shining, and I got stuck in the motorcade, and it was great!
