My brother, and others, forgot my birthday,,, again

[ORchickens]

I guess everyone is different. I rarely call family on their birthday, but I always send a handmade card. In my mind, that shows that I was thinking of that person in advance, and the person was important enough for me to spend my time on (making a card). I rarely get any acknowledgement of my birthday from my sibilings.

Now see, OR, that would mean more than any phone call!

For me in these kinds of instances...I try to remember that people arn't like me and accept and love them just as they are. We can wish that other people would consider us and we can hope the tradition of acknowledging special days will be carried on. But that's all we've got. We can ways remember others and do our part to carry things on...that's it..nothing more.

I would start a special tradition just for myself on my birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday,

Until this year I knew exactly what you have gone through.

What made it different this year was some very sneaky but wonderful friends on BYC.

But family and friends just choose to ignore it, Maybe it is time I did too. I keep saying I will go backwards next year, but to be completely honest it really hurts when you go to all the trouble to remember others and they fail to realise that it is important for you too.

Thankfully there are some amazing chicken people around that make a huge difference.

I really hope you have a good week and a great weekend and get to spoil youself somehow. I know things have been tough lately.

But you bring such joy and humour to all of us here that you really deserve some appreciation.

Many many Happy Returns, and Health and happiness for the coming year.

Blessings,

Jena.
