Today, of course, is 9/11. All over the country people are offering remembrances of that horrific day 11 years ago. Here, we are quietly (or not so quietly!) celebrating Elaine's birthday. Of course we remember those who died in the World Trade Center and on flight 93 and their families who still struggle with the memories - how can we ever forget? But this date was Elaine's birthday first.
We talked and talked and talked about how to continue to celebrate her birthday in light of those events. First we decided we'd move her birthday celebration off by six months and celebrate in April, not realizing that every news, infotainment and propaganda organization would do a six-month retrospective replay. Finally, we - or rather she - decided to claim her birthday as her own. After all, she was here first.
So despite the tragic undertones, here's wishing mi dushi, mi amor, my love a wonderful and very happy birthday.
