Aww, Happy Birthday!!
My oldest had a liver transplant when she was 7 months old and each
birthday
(she actually has two, one her real birthday and the second is the gift of
life birthday) that comes around I am a mess. So I understand. I am sure
it
is normal and it does get easier as the years go on.
