Today was the day for my mother´s 85th birthday party. Her birthday was two days ago, and then she celebrated with the closest friends. Today we were family gathered.
I was up early to finish the cakes I had promised to bring. To make a card to go with our gift. To finish the last minutes things we had promised to bring.
My mother´s two sisters were there. And so were two of my father´s sisters. My parents´closest friend, who we count as family, have done so all our lives, though they are not so by blood. Two of my brothers. A sister in law. My parents´grandchildren.
The birthday girl and her "baby son" played Grieg.
We ate. We talked. We sang. We played. We ate some more.
At one point I almost started to cry. I don´t want this to end. I don´t want time to go on.......
