Today is my birthday and I was refecting about my birthday of last year, 2005.
I was just back from Egypt since May 2005, here working all the time so very hard in the hotel as some of you will remember and being abandoned by my children who at that time were not speaking to me .
Due to my friends here in Opera Land, I have blossomed and grown over the past year and have regained some of my children.
I was thinking today.. How this little girl at age 3 had no idea what lays in front of her on her journey in life. How much she trusted adults and held the ability to love even facing the road alone at age 8. She still held love inside her heart . 
This little girl has always been loved in odd ways by strangers and also loved ones and now, by a very special one so deeply he takes her breath away.
We all have our own journeys and paths however, I was reflecting today of just a year ago on my birthday how much I was alone and was crying about the emptyness I had in my heart for my children not being next to me
and caring about my birthday as their Mom.
I felt exiled without an explaination.
Today I had a wonderful birthday gift.. My daughter and her daughter took me to lunch
and as always we had so many laughs and this time we did not cause a scene in the resturant. How much has changed in a years time and how much my heart is filled with real love, the caring kind, the deep kind, pureness of unselfish love.
Thanks to all my friends in Opera who have held my hand,
Stroked my soul with your friendship and caring for making
me stronger and more loving and so much more happier.
Thank you Li, my :heart: for spending my birthday with me
and all the other days and nights we share.
You always take care of my heart which is your heart
and you always make sure we are happy no matter what
you have to do to ensure this happens for us. I love you !
Your Rose,
:heart:

A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear Eve. I hope, you’ve had a nice day.I wish you lucky times, a good health and always more money, than you need for your new year. :happy: :heart:
Dear Fati,Is it 1st Oct or 30th Sept that is your birthday.? Whenever I hit the “comments” tab , the heading on your message reads 1st Oct. Makes very little difference. The fervor of my wish is undiminished. May God bless you and yours with the very best in life, and may your progeny beget and nurture the ‘ kind , pure, giving’ heart that you show.LoveRKK
Dear dear Fathima,Just saw your mail and wishing you MANY MORE HAPPY RETURNS OF 1st October. By the way today is Gandhi Jayanthi, Mahathma Gandhi’s birth Anniversary. Mebbe, kind hearted people have chosen October first week to be born.Anyway it gives me so much pleasure to be able to wish you, I do not know much about your personal life, it does’nt really matter. If the majority of the postings you make reflect you truly, I see a great person, blessed and being born over and over again. I also happened to read your footnote and Li’s reply. YOU have such a balanced friend in him. Still I want to add what occurred to me so spontaneously:- You, dear Fathima, already have the inner beauty in you and I wonder why do you say ” quote “to withstand what life puts in my path” Unquote? If one who makes so many’s lives beautiful, who better to enjoy what life has laid out. Keep giving strentgh to others by your postings. This boon is given to very few. Blessed you are. Like your good friend’ poem ” If some mishap has not killed you, it has made you stronger – bless Life” ….Love RKK
Hi Elke,thank you for your wishes for my birthday and my new year, it meansalot to me coming from you 🙂 thank you again and it’s always nice to see youLoveFatimah
hello RKK,Wow! you have blown me away with your words of greatness towards me thank you for sharing and for seeing me in this light .. I am truely honored. My birthday is September 30th as I have posted this post on my birthday to make sure it will be in the history of my blog for my day. Ghandi has always been a hero to me and I have seen the movie of his life many times and have gained so much strength from him and also the life of the Phophet Muhammed > PBUH>Thank you for your thoughts and sharing them and yes I am truly blessed having my friend Li love and my love for him and the love of my friends in Opera Land who have held my shaking hand and stroked my broken soul many many times .. right Sarah and JCL?I can honestly say if it weren’t for my friendships I have in Opera I don’t know where my life would be at this point.. This is why I thank them and honor them with my posts on a daily basis and try to sprinkle the magic I was born with and to share my inner beauty that has grown from the seeds of love placed into my being by all here in Opera Land . Now you are included .. thank you for your gifts as well. Love and light , Fatimah
