Birthday girl. I've been warned. I've been notified of your imminent arrival into my life and the lives of those close by. I try to act less than enthused. I've made myself believe that you're a fictional character that everybody keeps bringing up for the sake of warm-weather entertainment. But deep down, I know that today is the big day. We're all bursting at the seams to meet you, sweet Iris. We'll see you soon.
