The Best Bday Gift

It was my non-ecstatic mid-thirties birthday.  Yes, I have my health, my beautiful children and many wonderful people in my life.  But, I had a crick in my neck that was agonizing.  I went out to lunch, and saw the MoMA Cindy Sherman exhibit with my beautiful whiny children and agonizing cricked-out neck; I'll have you all know that neither were cutting me any slack:  Not even on my birthday, a "non-ecstatic" event.  To top things off, for the 100th time, I heard:  "Mama, come look!"  In a whiny albeit sing-song, nonetheless whiny, voice. 
And then I  saw this on my pillow:   

"Sorry this is all I had.  Happy Birthday". 
As is she needed anything else.  
The best Birthday gift, ever.
