Every year on Kelly's birthday I asked him what he wanted to do and the answer was always something simple, like dinner out, but with the caveat that for his 40th birthday, he wanted a party.
Last Sunday, guess who turned 40? Guess what we are doing tonight? We are having a party!
When I got my prognosis one of the first things I decided was that I was going to do was to host Kelly's 40th Birthday because it is one of the very few things he has ever asked for for himself. I had no idea at the time how I would be feeling or where I would be in treatment, but this party was going to happen. I told him this. He said no, no, no. I said yes. My yes also had a look with it, which is why I only needed one yes to his three nos.
So, tonight we celebrate! We celebrate Kelly's 40th Birthday (he looks and acts a great deal like he did when he was 39). We celebrate being together with our family and friends for a great occasion. We celebrate all the friends and family who will be able to be here to celebrate with us. We celebrate another year of Kelly ~ funny, sweet, hockey-playing, Lego-hoarding, dedicated, lovable Kelly.
Happy 40th Birthday, BayBay!
