I'm 47 today. I don't feel it. I feel much older and younger at the same time.
I must be old both of my parents have died. I feel young as well because losing my Father has made me feel a bit like a little kid. You want to cry but then you realize you don't have your parents anymore to make you feel better.
Wow. This is why it takes people a long time to grieve and get over the loss of a loved one.
Isn't this just a fun little blog entry.
It's my birthday but to be honest the only thing I can think about is how my Dad won't be calling me today.
I'm told that as time passes these days won't have the same melancholy feel, that in the years to come this type of pain will ease.
But today's my first birthday without him.
I'm 47 today.
I don't feel it.
Older and Younger.

Happy Birthday, dude!
I lost my father 20 years ago, at quite a young age and while time softens the blow, I still think of him every single day and miss him and wish he was here to see what I've grown up to be. OMG. Gotta go have a sniffle now!

Happy Birthday, Howie.
i don't know how you feel, but i do know how parents can always seem to put you back into your place after you go through such an ego ride with friends and `the fans'.
and if you can keep it real, just know that your parents did a job well done - a job i'm very sure they did.
have a good one, bud.
all the best and to many more.
next round is on that guy over there.
cheers.

Hey Howard,
Happy Birthday!!!I just stumbled upon your blog and how appropriate that it's your birthday...Not sure if you'd remember but you called me on the radio back in the CFNY days to wish me a happy birthday!
Sorry you have mixed emotions about today, I'm sure loosing a parent is the hardest thing one can go through.

Special occasions are always hard after you've lost someone you love.
I hope you had a great birthday, Howard.

Hey Hum,
Happy Belated Birthday!
It's not a fun road that you're on, but the path does become easier as time goes by... I'm sure that wherever your Dad is, he's thinking of you...
Love transmits instantly!
hugs, Anita
