Well, my DIL called a while ago, and while talking about my daughter coming over with wine, she said, "Do you mean I called and asked you to baby sit on your birthday?!?!" Then she said she felt all guilty and would have to run out and get me a gift before she brought the girls over for their sleepover tonight. I told her that wasn't necessary. She insists I am just too kind to everyone. I feel life is too short and what does it hurt to be nice to people. I want my angel wings to be made out of fabric; haven't decided on a quilt design yet.

5 years ago my daughter decided I was the worst mother, hasn't talked since...birthdays, mothers day...nothing. 3 years ago she talked her brother into this also...so getting missed hurts, but actually, celebrate for yourself..don't depend on others.

I always start giving hints about 2 weeks before mine. I don't ask for much just some carnations, but sometimes I don't get the flowers but they do remember to say happy birthday. I just love pets.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL OF US.

I'm so sorry for the painful situation you're experiencing. That's more extreme than just a forgotten birthday, that's like being excommunicated. I can only imagine how that cuts to the core. May God bless you.
