Unplug? No effin' way.

Not me. Maybe the rest of LJ-land is going to be unplugging and going quietly about whatever business there is to go about, but I doubt I'll do that.

My LJ has become just as much a part of me as my paper journal has, and it would feel wrong to me to let the adorable moments of my Nephew's life slip past without so much as a passing note on his birthday.

Last year, he got a candle on a cupcake, and hugs, because nobody felt at all like throwing a party.

This year, he gets a party.

My nephew was born on September 11th, and we plan to celebrate that day.

Only the people we know IRL would be invited to the physical party, of course, but I'd like to invite all of you, everybody, to join in a Livejournal, online party, celebrating the anniversary of my adored and adorable Nephew's birth, and the triumph of the general human spirit over fuckheads. Shit happens, and life goes on, all the more precious for that which we've just survived, and all the more precious because we're going to try like anything to never let anything like that happen again: not on my nephew's birthday, not on my birthday, not on anybody's birthday.

I feel for you. My daughter was born on September 11th, 1994. I haven't seen her since she was a day or so old, but I hope she's doing well, and that her parents won't let this, or anything else, ruin her birthday.

A child's birthday is a special, wonderful thing, and should be treated as such.

Votania's already cleared the kindergarten bash with the teacher. All we've got to do is make sure there are no traces of peanut anywhere, as one of the kids is allergic. Good enough.
