Birthdays

I don't think it makes any difference how old we get, we like to be remembered. It is not about everyone knowing how old you are or what you get, it is really the thought as you get older. When your kids, spouses, or parents forget to call it hurts. Mine is even more memorable because I use to share it with my Mom. As a kid, that was pretty neat to share the same birthday as one of your parents, but now it is bitter sweet. I really haven't had time to really sit and think about it until this evening. I am sure my Mom may not have thought it was so neat, because the kid always gets thought of first and what kid of birthday cake they want. I know enjoy sharing mine with a grandson only because they are only 3 days apart. My oldest son was due on my birthday, however he chose his own day. Now he shares it with his daughter because his is close to hers. Guys don't let your wives fool you, you do need to remember her birthday and it really doesn't matter what kind of flowers you bring her or what you get her as much as that you do and you do remember it.
