Beautiful and yet so sad, Constance....a supposedly happy day that ended in tears... one that will keep repeating itself annually. ~ Congratulations on your podium finish. Regards // paul

Paul, thank you for the compliment and congratulations, yes, my birthday has never been joyous, my mother tried to get me to change my birthday date but I refused, and what makes it worse is that I watched my sister die on the road after she was hit by a truck, I can still hear my mother screaming and for some reason I have been able to make these sad events of my life into beautiful poetry ~Constance
