THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED - THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING! {source}The day is here. I'm 32. My father told me that after turning 21 birthdays seem to come faster & faster - he was right.A friend of mine said that after having kids your birthday will seem like just another day - she was right.Do I feel different now than I did when I turned, say, 22?
