His Birthday...

...the first one we were apart, I actually got to see him.  The few after that, I worked up the courage to call.  The next two or tree after that, I only was able to bring myself to send a text message.  Last year, an E. Card to an account I don't think he ever checks.  Eventually, the E.Card came back to me, unread. This year, I will post it here.

I have never forgotten his birthday.  Ever.  Even if he probably thinks I have by now.  It is a day burned into my memory.  Probably tonight, he will be out celebrating somewhere.  Part of me wants to say -- without me.  Part of me misses being included in that.

But it is his birthday.  Happy Birthday Ivan.  Maybe one day you will see this. Maybe you will not.  But I never forget.
