Happy Birthday

I only know one lady on this site.  I see all the birthday greetings as they come up but feel individual comments are not really appropriate.  It is not that I don't care.
We are all in different places in our lives and at different stages of diagnosis, treatment and recovery/survival.
We all have different thoughts and different expectations of our special day.
To all ladies, whether or not BCNA has your birthday recorded, I sincerely wish you a happy and peaceful day.  Hoping life brings you much happiness, a laugh or two, many cuddles from human or 4 legged friends and a better year ahead.
I raise my glass to YOU.
Hugs to all
Anne
Birthday

    No worries! 
    Sometimes we all struggle to articulate what we mean

    You did write a lovely sentiment to all that I and I am sure others appreciate 

    Take care and best wishes

    Humble apologies.  It has been pointed out to me that my post can be taken that I meant individual comments are not really appropriate and the birthday greetings are not right.
    I meant that for me to write personal greetings to someone who I've not met and who has never even heard of me seems wrong.
    I was hoping my post sent good wishes to all ladies whenever their special day may be.
    I hope this makes sense and I apologize if anyone was upset due to my lack of English writing skill.

    @iserbrown, you really cheered me up with my birthday greeting, especially the virtual cake.  I have not met anyone from the forum but I feel a bond with you all and the forum has saved me more times than you will ever know:)

    @BlackWidow 

    Thanks for your thoughts on the Birthday thread!
    I have taken on the role of Birthday Monitor and I too am a forum user who has only met a couple of ladies on here.  
    I see this as an opportunity to cheer up forum users as their birthdays come around!  
    It is a personal choice for the forum users to put up their birthdays for me to start the thread and for others to acknowledge.

    Lovely sentiment that you have written to all and I certainly respect your thoughts!

    Take care and best wishes
