Thirty Years?

Today my little brother turned thirty. Thirty??? How can that be when I remember it like yesterday? Well, ok... maybe not yesterday. But, I remember sitting in the waiting room of the Santa Maria Hospital with Jennifer who was 3 years old and Bill Tanner, Lori's boy friend. Lori was up in the delivery room with Dad and Linda. I don't know if I was invited to witness his birth, but I am sure I wouldn't have been able to handle all that then anyway.

I remember what I was wearing. Being 16 years old at the time, I guess being aware of what you are wearing is normal. I had on a white blouse with ruffles and had buttons that kind of zigzagged down the front, a teal green skirt and a metallic gold braided belt that was for looks only. I also was wearing these very cool metallic gold sandals. I was surely very stylish.

I don't recall meeting David for the first time or even what time he was born. I really only recall what I was wearing.... so I guess I don't recall it like it was yesterday.

It was fun being in college at Cal Poly when he was a young kid in Arroyo Grande though. He and Jennifer would put on these crazy funny shows for us, the adults. I guess I was an adult anyway.

Happy birthday, David. You are and always have been very loved.
