I am overwhelmed and in tears, how did you survive this? At times I thought my baggage was heavy,but nothing like what you endured. You do deserve a special place with the "Big Guy".
carmaxable; It seems to me that you have done good. How many foster homes have you lived in? What were they like?
Well carmaxable you did it to me tonight. Your brought the true tears to my eyes. I precisely, exactly, know what you have been through. I have been fighting for kids for years. I have worked in several group homes, also big organization that service kids. Worked as a social worker, as a mentor, as a tutor, with gang kids. With cutters, with over medicated kids. I been fighting this fight and will continue to fight for kids. Many call me a child advocate. And I am. That is one of my true passions in life. Sometimes it wears me down. But I will not let it go as long as God lets me breath. I know what you have been through. God bless you and every kid! I think I am going to go get some tissue and sign off for tonite. Good night. Love you all!

Well, happy birthday ahead of time, I had no idea you were older, your comments seem so young. Must be young at heart...

Thirty was hard for me too. I'm 42 now and have come up with a reason(for me) that any birthday would suck. I have quit thinking that by the time I am(say 50) I will be"" or have"". I have no set time to be or do anything, it is what it is. There is no let down if I don't make the mark(if that makes sense).I also celebrate my birthday with gifts for my mom...it was after all her birth- day. It was she who went through hell alone those days as the dads weren't allowed in the birthing room.It is quite fun to plan a way to surprise your parents with something they are not expecting. When I was born my dad ate my mom's dinner at the hospital because I was being born, so I am going to try and find out what the meal was and have it delivered to their home for dinner that night. This year I sent flowers with a big"It's a girl" balloon attached. They thought the florist had made a mistake...it was quite funny. Anyways celebrate your life and savour the good days.

This question has been around for a while, but it's a good one.
40 was really depressing for me and who knows why. The whole decade was miserable for me.
When the 50th arrived, I was overjoyed and feel this decade has been much better.
60 is next March.....I am dragging my feet on that one.
THE MOST MEMORABLE, however, was when my best friend's sister turned 25 (we were about 14) and was upset because she was now a quarter of a century old. WOW. That was OLD!

Mine was my 8th... I was at a lake with my family and they pulled the body of a 13 year old boy old of the water that had been there for 3 months...
30 didnt phase me... weight gain last year freaked me out a little but I have learned to love my curves.

I am 34 now and last year was the first year I have gone into the water aside from a pool or bath.

None. Birthdays to me have always been just another day (at least after I became an adult). Age is a state of mind. I never look at myself as a number of years. I'm just me and alive. It works :)
I guess if I had to pick an age, it would be 13. I was finally a teenager and not just a child.

when I turn 20 I cried my heart out! I thought it was all down hill now! I was so stupid! I'll be 51 or 52 in 2 weeks, I can't remember anymore. My sister usually calls and breaks the bad news! I don't even try to keep up. My son stop asking, he just calls the tattle tale of the family.

I acted the same ole foolish way for my 30th. My birthday is Nov 25th and it came on the Sunday after Thanksgiving that year and I refused to leave the house from Friday to Sunday to make sure I made it to Sunday. How crazy can you be? I told my husband and kids that whatever they were going to eat they better buy it for me to cook before Friday cause I was not leaving the house again until after I made it to 30. I am now 50 and look back and just laugh cause I am looking forward to the next 30 years and not dreading one day.

I actually experienced severe boughts of depression for quite some time. Sounds crazy but, I had to take time from work and locked myself in my home for a while. Still don't know why it affected me so.
