It’s My Birthday Today!
Yes, I’m 31 today (in my dreams).
Where did I get that number?
Recently, I was talking to two American ladies and they said, “Bo, you’re so accomplished. You’ve done so many things in your life. Yet you’re so young! You must be… hmm… thirty-one?”
“Can I treat you out for dinner tonight?” I smiled from ear to ear. When I told them I was 46, they didn’t want to believe me. They said I was lying.
“Filipinos tend to look younger,” I told them. “And because I’m very happy with my life, I guess I feel young too.”
Love Makes Me Happy
It’s true. I’m very happy with my life.
Today is my birthday. And while praying this morning, I had tears of joy. I was so grateful to God.
This morning, my wife and I went to Mass. God’s surprise: My friend Bishop Jesse Mercado was there to celebrate the Eucharist. We approached him and told him, “It’s my birthday and our wedding anniversary.” (Yes, I got married on my birthday so I’d never ever forget my wedding day!) The good Bishop laid his hands on both of us and prayed for a long time—asking for special blessings.
I felt God’s Love wrap around me like a robe.
When I went home, my two boys gave me a tight hug. My youngest son, Francis, gave me a hand-written birthday card. Using red crayon, he drew footsteps towards a heart. Pointing to it, he said, “Daddy, I walk towards your love.” He’s only 7 but I think he’s got the makings of a poet.
After breakfast, I did a little bit of writing. But I had to leave right away to have a lunch date with my 87-year old mother. When I picked her up at home, she embraced me and said, “Happy Birthday, Bo. I love you.”
Because of her age, Mom’s mind isn’t as sharp. She’s very forgetful. So I wanted to check. I asked her, “How old am I, Mom?” She said, “I don’t know. Are you fifty plus?”
Ah, the cruel effect of Alzheimer’s. Dementia. Senility. But if she said I was 31, I’d say her mind was getting brighter!
After we ate our lunch, I held her wrinkled hand in my hand—and told her I loved her. Inwardly, I couldn’t stop thanking God for having my mother in my life—in her advanced years. Every single day she is alive is a precious gift to me from God.
What makes my life so happy?
No doubt about it: It’s love.
