today is my skater's 12th birthday and his eligibility for the 13 club. his great grandmother lived to be 14, his grandmother 13 and his mother over 12. skater has saved my life and my sanity many times over the past few years and every day with him is a blessing like no other. from birth to his 1st best puppy to this moment, he is the most magnificent creature alive - and i tell him so every single day. i am truly the luckiest person in the world and honored to have shared the past 12 years with such an amazing friend. selfishly, i look forward to more. so.... happy birthday and thank you, CH Silstra's Starlight Express.
