I hope that didn't make you feel worse..
I know sometimes these things can have a backward effect.I have much birthday baggage. I think I understand. And I'm sorry you had an awful birthday, I really am. Those aren't just words honey, I felt that.
I posted a while back, that My sister had sent me a supposedly innocent quiz via e-mail,
(it was sent to lots of people, some of the answers of course she knew, because I'm her sister)One of the questions was.
"How many candles on your birthday cake?"
It made me cry, It wouldn't have bothered me so much if it had asked how old I was.It was the way it was phrased.
I can't remember the last time I had a cake with candles on it on my birthday.
Or even more than a
"oh it was your birthday? I'll have to buy you a drink" which never transpiresI'm in my thirties, and this birthday I spent completely alone, Thank God for "Chicklet" who had balloons sent to my door!
She'd remembered my teary email from the
week before saying"I don't want another birthday alone, I want a cake and balloons, and new shoes!"
And I'll remind you again I'm in my thirties..
I think FallsFall gave all the wisdom, I just thought I'd give you a little fellow commiseration. And may next year be better for both of us. Or as Chicklet put in her card with
the balloons,
Ah!Birthday Shmirthday!
