Sixty

Sixty Is a Lot!

He turns 60 today.
Sixty’s a lot.

A lot of years.
A lot of stories.
A lot of favorite songs, inside jokes, memories, dreams.
A lot of showing up for other people.
A lot of loving me – even on the bad days.

He treats birthdays like magic.
Plans them like a kid – creates lists, places, excitement.
To him joy is in the details.
Maybe it is.

Me? I don’t really do birthdays.
I don’t mark time like he does. Sixty doesn’t feel like a number today. It feels like time catching up in a way we can’t ignore.

He’ll move through it like he does everything in life. With strength knowing he’s given it his all. He doesn’t need or expect much. Except to feel like the day is his.

Sixty’s a lot!
