Define Birthday?

Birthday is the only day you cry and you're mother smiles.

Birthdays are such fun.  Well they are supposed to be joyous occasions for everyone after that one.

Some families are like this sturdy tree

I am not sure my mother smiled the day I was born either.  My mother was filled with a sadness and despair when I was born and she was so confused emotionally.  Who knows what would have happened if things had been different all of those years ago.  I often wonder what it would be like to have lived with my brothers and sisters.  I wonder this often still.  On my birthday I think I think about this more.
