As I approach my 39th birthday this year I find myself responding to the “Well, how old are you?” question by saying, “I’m almost 40.” I have rationalized that the practice of saying 40 for the next year will help me to accept it more when it happens. It doesn’t seem like I have been alive that long, but here I am just months away from being one year from 40 and I am thinking about my life more and more.

When I was younger, and Father’s Day rolled around I would try to think of the best ways to celebrate my dad and get gifts that he would love. As an adult, my dad encourages me to shower my hubby with love and celebrate the father that he is to our children. It gets a little challenging year after year to think of something that will wow my Eddie Bear (my nick name for Corey).
