Today is my beautiful brides birthday….It’s a beautiful day for sure! Robin and I are so different, it’s crazy. Robin LOVES birthdays and holidays. I on the other hand could really take them or leave them. This year I was hoping to have been in the new house or at least closing on her big day, but that did not work out. So, she is settling for a free day out w/o the kids enjoying a manicure and pedicure.
Happy Birthday Robin, I love you…
I noticed about something you said.
Why is it when you have one person who gets emotionally scarred when you miss a special day versus somebody who doesn’t care at all (me), you have to side with the person who gets emotionally scarred.
Two types of people: people who have stake their entire life’s worth on the special days and people who don’t.
I totally forgot about Father’s Day (I just remembered it) but I wasn’t upset that my son didn’t do anything special. Every single day, I am proud to be a father and every precious moment I get to spend with him is a celebration.
Joe– I don’t get emotionally scarred. I just enjoy them (birthdays and holidays) for what they are and what they have represented to me in the past -present- and future….a day or days that I am especially grateful for those people around me to share all of my memories with.
If Terry tries to do those things that make me feel loved and special, and I try to do the same for him, I don’t see that as taking sides, but meeting another’s needs and not seeking to gratify only our own. It is what God calls us to daily don’t you think?
Terry–thanks and I love you. Personally, I think a new house for my birthday is pretty great!
