Dear Cooper and Finn
21st January 2019
Dear Cooper and Finn,
It's my birthday today! I'm 34 years old. It feels important to tell you that I guess because the age of my parents felt so important when I was younger. Mam was 39 when she had me and dad was 41, which made them the oldest parents at my school by quite a stretch. I suspected my friend's parents were a similar age, but when I asked her to find out she came back the next day and said they were both 24.
We got dressed up and went for a fancy meal tonight (well I got dressed up, your dad just moaned about having to wear proper shoes) and it was lovely. It was exactly what I wanted to do, which is exactly what should happen on your birthday. x x x
