It’s my 31st birthday today. Happy Birthday me! Do you feel like giving me a gift? If so, do me a favor, make a donation to The Amelie Dobek Memorial Research Fund.

You may remember I blogged about little Amelie a few weeks ago. She is the daughter of friends of ours who died when she was just two weeks old. Your money will help raise awareness of congenital heart defects. If it means one more person in the world who will celebrate their 31st birthday and one less bereaved couple like Paul and Clarissa, it will be the best present ever.

Thank you to everyone who donates.

P.S. To those friends now saying “shit” and reaching for the phone, you have the perfect excuse for not calling me on my birthday. Our phone line went down on March 21 and the phone company says it will not be fixed until 6pm on March 22. So you tried, but you just couldn’t get through…
