I was definitely a little sad when I realized the field trip corresponded with Kevin's birthday. I have a hard time remembering the last birthday I didn't spend with Kevin since we met in college. Well, I didn't technically spend his 21st Birthday with him... but that's a different story.

| Kevin Celebrating his 24th Birthday in 2007 |
As we get older, birthdays seem to lose their luster... less presents, less fanfare and a little gray hair. But birthdays should still be special no matter how old you are, not necessarily as a celebration of the day you were birthed, but more as a celebration of your life and how awesome of a person you are. Everyone likes to feel special, and I have to believe a day in the spotlight once a year is good for the soul.
I packed a card in Kevin's suitcase with a note to not open until today. I wanted him to at least have something to open on his birthday, even if it was just a card. Happy Birthday, Dear!
