Congratulations. I remember a similar celebration in my life too. I have lived nearly 15 years longer than my mother. I truly celebrated my 50, not as over any hill but a celebration of reaching the hill. I do miss not having her advise about her years from 49 on but I make sure to pass the day by day trials and joys of life on to my children. (Many more joys than trials.)
Celebrate to day wildly and enjoy every birthday forward from here. You are carrying on the legacy of your mother and brother. What a gift you have to give on their behalf! |
Many said I would probably die at the same age as my mother. I just turned 64 and she died 22 years ago at the age of 64. Dh was not looking forward to his 49th BD. His father passed at that age. He just turned 56. It all depends on when the Lord feels you have completed your purpose on earth. That is my belief. Celebrate each day you have. Will heed your warning and grow in the same manner from afar.

Okay guys,
It has gone midnight here so I am officially 50..... Now I'm not looking for any congrats, I would just like to share with you all my heartfelt love that I send out to my Mother and Brother...... Neither of them reached the age I am today and I miss them so. My mum died when she was just 49 and my wonderful brother died when he was just 43. I am so grateful for every day and I just want you all to share my good fortune of ageing with me and I am giving you all advanced warning.......... I am going to grow old disgracefully - LOL! Thank you for letting me share. Hugs Caroline |
Happy Birthday and many wishes for a long and healthy life!

Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy Birthday! Indeed, we all should enjoy each day we are blessed with. Best wishes always.

Happy Birthday and have many more. It is hard to loose those we love. My brother just turned 73 and I am not sure he will make another year, he is not doing well.
