A cake smash with the first. Blue icing covers your smiling face.
One for each passing year. More milestones.
Daycare.
Graduation.
College.
Career.
Marriage.
Your children light them, cracking fire truck jokes.
Until one day…your number is up. Then, no more.

Ah… and there it is. LIFE.
Indeed!
p.s. Was it your birthday?!
Nope. Thank goodness.
“Then, no more,” and yet, then there is everything…if you believe that only our body gives out while the spirit lives on…
I’m going to be like that bad penny that keeps turning up! 😉 teeheehee
I’m happy to have you here! And yes – agreed – it’s either the end – or the beginning of the next.
Sometimes it does seem like we are trying to get to one more candle.
It does feel that way.
Ok, all the way up to the last line, I was like… cool. Then, not so much. 😀
It is a bit of a let down.
Well, more a reality check.. Or would that be mortality?
Definitely the latter.
Loved the cake smash imagery at the beginning. 🙂
Always has to start with a smash.
There is so much story in the order of the life events you list.
There is indeed. Thanks James.
I like how the answer keeps changing, getting higher until the end.
And then…no more.
That was wonderful, and it reads more like poetry. Great job!
Thank you!
Sad but true! I would love some blue icing now.
Sad but true. Beautifully said, Liv! 🙂
Thank you.
