Not So Happy Birthday

by Lia Halsall

This time last year for the first time in his entire life , Dad forgot my birthday. He was killed three weeks later. This is the memory that haunts me today, my first parentless birthday.

Happy Birthday Lia!

An alert on our forum mentioned that it was your birthday and led me here via your profile. What a wonderful place! You have a beautiful and touching website and I really enjoyed reading your tribute to your parents. I feel that I got to know them a little through your writings. You are a reflection and continuation of their love and specialness and any child could only hope to have made their parents so proud and represented them so well as you obviously have.
You are a wonderful and inspiring writer and I am betting you have touched and motivated more people than you could possible know. I will encourage the members of our online forum to drop by, visit your site and enjoy your blog.

Thank you for adding perspective to my day and sharing yourself with all of us. Here’s wishing nothing but the best for you.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog, I’m flattered. I write straight from the heart and what started out as my figure journey has become something much more after losing both my parents last year. Once I achieve a healthy mind body and spirit I plan on returning to the stage but until then I’m learning so much more about myself and about my health and fitness.

I’ll be sure to drop by the forum a little more regularly in the future.

Kindest Regards,
Lia :)
