A long, long time ago in a country far away....
Before email and Facebook and YouTube and Messenger...
My father sent this telegram to Canada announcing my arrival.

My father sent this telegram to Canada announcing my arrival.
Today I will receive more birthday greetings on Facebook than from Canada Post. My family will be able to communicate with me quickly, easily and relatively inexpensively from anywhere in the world.
While my birthdays are no longer greeted with the enthusiasm of my four-year-old self, I am thankful for good health, for family and friends and another year to live and learn and love.
