Birthday Wishes...

The other day was Harm's birthday.  It was my first day back at class and the twins first day back at school since getting the flu.  So at the last minute we went too Peter Piper Pizza and invited my inlaws and my family.  

That night at cake time we didn't even have a match to light his candle and dyslexic me picked out the wrong candle any how (I got a 2 instead of a 5, flip the number and it makes sense why I did it).  So we sang to him and afterward we told him to make a wish.

He told everyone "What I wish for is that we could all be together and stay together forever and be so happy together."  It broke my heart.  Those who read my blog or know me in real life probably get the feeling that family relationships have been tense and continue to be tense.  I try too shield my children from that but I know I falter and I know they can pick up on these things.  

I hope Harm's wish comes true.  I sort of have lost faith in it but perhaps a child's faith is stronger than I am.
