Today is my birthday and I feel so alone. Even my dad did not remember. He is old and has an excuse, but my two sisters could have reminded him. Seems as though he had me helping him get a card for my brother last month (that would be the brother that does nothing to help us care for my him). Me, I spend every third week staying at his house so he can remain at home. All this while trying to find some peace in losing my husband. That's where I was this morning when he got up his cheery self to find me in tears because he had no card or no idea it was my birthday. Then my sister arrived and wanted to know why I made such a big deal out of such little things. She forgot that this summer when she celebrated her 60th birthday that my husband and I went out of our way to make a steak dinner complete with birthday cake because no one else in the family offered to host a party for her. All this while I was taking care of him just a little over a month before he died. My response to her was when you lose your husband, come back and talk to me about why little things seem so big.
Sorry guys, just had to vent.
The son and his family have asked me out for dinner tonight so it isn't a lost cause, just a painful day.
Hugs to all.
