I have never been big on birthdays. Besides the first and your last, they really have little significance. However, now that I have my daughter, Elin, my attitude has changed. I looked into the mirror this morning and wondered if I would be here for my 68th birthday. My hope is – YES! I want to see the beautiful woman Elin grows into. She is my greatest gift, and one that keeps giving each day. Maybe I will be a grandpa on my 68th.
