\nMy baby girl was turning 18.
\nTabitha asked how I was doing and I said, \u201cthis sucks!\u201d
\nShe made me feel better by saying, \u201cIt\u2019s just an age, that girls been grown for a long time now.\u201d
\nThat actually made me feel better, because it\u2019s true. Kara has always been the most immature mature person I know. She\u2019s the perfect contradiction.
\nMy birthday was fantastic. It\u2019s now the 25th<\/sup> and I have finally finished individually thanking 274 people for my facebook birthday wishes.\u00a0 <\/span>There is nothing wrong with the blanket \u2018thanks everyone\u2019, but I have always felt that if someone was going to come over and write something, I was going to take the time to respond.
\nThis was a special birthday for me.
\nI had been joking with my boss about wanting a pony for my birthday.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>He came into the office with a birthday bag and inside was a pink My Little Pony figurine.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m happy this is the final year of my 30\u2019s.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m ready for a whole new chapter in my life.
\nMy awesome brothers called me and Jerry said, \u201cI turn 50 this year, there is no turning back now!\u201d
\nI\u2019ve never feared getting older. Growing up with my grandma on my Dad\u2019s side showed me that old was awesome. My grandpa on my Mom\u2019s side showed me that old was fun.
\nI guess because they weren\u2019t \u201cold\u201d in the sense that they were ever \u2018sick\u2019.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>They were both so sharp all the way to the end.\u00a0 <\/span>My grandma never forgot a thing. My grandpa snuck out of the house with his oxygen tank to go fishing before he passed on.\u00a0 <\/span>That is what I am made of.\u00a0 <\/span>I come from that stock. Getting older is fucking great and I don\u2019t regret a single day or ever want to go back to being younger.<\/p>\n
