11th Birthday

I celebrated privately but never said anything publicly - I turned 11 on April 25; 11 years, that is, since my near-fatal heart attack in New Orleans, LA. Took time to reflect on what has happened since then, and what I would have missed had I not been here.

The flip side is I became an uncle again on Wednesday, another nephew to spoil and get spun up for his folks! Can't wait for him to grow a little so I can turn him into a tattooed hellion!
 
Congratulations. I have my 4th birthday on the 6th June. Mine was a "minor event" but still warranted heart jewellery "stent".

Live life to the max and enjoy every additional second.
