Life, The Universe, and Everything

Sylvia had figured out the perfect solution for today.

 

'Mama, from Sunday on, the answer to life, the universe, and everything will be 43.'

 

For years, I had not really celebrated my birthday beyond mostly family. Things just didn't work out.

 

Today, they did. Thanks to some pushing by a dear friend. Any one who thinks the answer is still 42, is clearly mistaken.
