Then I lost my Appointment Book - where my whole life and notes and everything are! Called everywhere and it's not turned up anywhere. Then today, I searched out last year's birthday thread and found I would have been right to have posted after all. Is that right - was your Birthday April 8th?
| Thank you everyone for your kind wishes.
Jeanie, you are such a special person and a dear friend. The special bonds that last throughout the year are what's important to me, and it means so much to me that you went to such lengths to check the date. I don't make a big deal about my birthday, and I most likely didn't write down my birth date on my profile page. Your wishes have truly warmed my heart, and yes, it was on the eight. John mentioned my birthday a few days before it, but he didn't realize the date on that Wednesday. He felt terrible he missed it, and he was also upset I didn't tell him it was my birthday. I knew he remembered my birthday, jut not on that day because he wasn't thinking of the day or date; John would give me the world if he could, so I was not upset in the least. We both were very focused on a doctor's appointment the next day that I was taking him to, and it was that morning that he realized we did nothing for my birthday. I don't need birthday celebrations because every day I have very loving, caring people (and a very special little girl!) in my life who add so much beauty to my life. They make every day special. Thank you, sweet Jeanie, for caring and for your wonderful birthday wishes.
You poor thing about your appointment book. I'm sure it's partly age, but I think it's more lack of sleep and so many stressors, but my ability to remember dates, even for people who I love dearly, is becoming more difficult for me. I never forget the time frame of the birthday, but I might be off by a couple of days. I'm great at going to buy cards, and I'm very particular about them and take a long time trying to find a meaningful one, yet I'm terrible about siting down to mail them. I really hope you find your book. |
