What A Long, Strange Day It's Been

Today is Hannah's birthday, but she told me the last time we saw each other that she didn't want to acknowledge it much.  She says enough bad things have happened to her in June that they sort of drown out her birthday.  We agreed, therefore, to let the day slide by without much to-do.

It has been a strange day, knowing it's her birthday but not being able to celebrate.  It isn't about me, though.  I just hope good, happy things happened to her today.  That she had reasons to smile and laugh.

But I know what you mean. I hope things will
look up for her, she deserves it.
