I cried when the first birthday came and went. I was fine during years 37, 38 and 39. As I said I think it is one of those milestones that is bringing the tears. I remember during the years when my friends turned 40 how we would dress in black and do other crazy things.

Yes, coming here I knew I would not be alone.
