"The best birthdays are those that haven't arrived yet." - Robert Orben
True or False?
Well in Maggie's case you could argue either way. Today Maggie turns 8. Today the quote is false , today is her best birthday. However, a few years ago I would have argued true. There was a time when Maggie's health left us with uncertainty about her future. Out of nowhere she was diagnosed with Leukemia.
Today, she is 8, the fastest runner in her class, the most independent 8 year old girl I have met, one of the most unique personalities I know, and the sweetest sneaky smile you could imagine. She is healthy and strong, and for the first time in four years ago her life has a normalcy that has her excited about all the goodness and celebrations that come with a birthday.
