mdlbearToday is Colleen's birthday, the second since she died. She would have been 71 years old.
Our birthdays are three days apart, and several other friends also had birthdays in March. (Not to mention our daughter, E.) When we were living in San Jose, we'd celebrate with a huge open-house/potluck party. We called it the "It's Green" party because Colleen's birthday is the day before Saint Patrick's Day. We'd provide corned beef and cabbage, and a case of Green Rooster beer. Colleen never managed to rebuild her social circle in Seattle, so birthday parties have been low-key family things.
My birthday was Monday, but there was so much going on that we decided to push the celebration out to today. Makes things kind of weird, and bitter-sweet.
