On my birthday in the 6th grade, I got in a fight with my best friend on the way to school over who's bike was faster. Just before my first class started, the local bully punched me in the stomach. About an hour later, they pulled me out of class to tell me my grandmother died that morning.
It is the low-water point that I use to measure not only all bad days but all birthdays. Anything that I can do to find a silver lining.
