Birthday Wishes.

Many thanks to BBS for the kind thoughts. Unfortunately it was a busy day as it was one of the many times my birthdate coincides with Mother's Day.
The first time I remember this occurring, my age was in single digits and I wondered why my mother and grandmother were getting gifts too.
I got a unique gift this year - my daughter/partner and grandsons gave me a dollar for each year - and I wonder if this sets a precedent? The reason behind it was that I had everything I wanted. How did they know that? Neil.

 

Happy Birthday, Neil! That's a neat gift from your loved ones.

I was married on my birthday, which is also Flag Day, and there are times when my birthday and Father's Day are side by side.

That's a most unusual situation.

 

Thanks James. My son was born on December 31st - missed out on New Year baby title but gets Xmas and Birthday gifts within 6 days.
My daughter's husband was born in the same hospital as my son, by the same surgeon (they were both caesarean births) ½ an hour later. Talk about coincidences. Neil.

 

My birthday also fell on Mother's Day this year! (I told my husband that this was the last year that I was going to keep counting them though!haha) It was a busy day for me as well, but one that I thoroughly enjoyed.

My two adult children live out-of-state, so was happy to receive phone calls from them. Spent the afternoon with my parents and sister. I feel bad for those that no longer have their mothers with them and hope they were able to reflect back on good memories.

I too remember when I was younger and my birthday and Mother's Day coincided. I told my mother that it was HER day to be honored, but she insisted that if it weren't for me, she wouldn't be a mother! (Kinda reminded me of the chicken and the egg story!)

 

Well then, here's a Happy belated Birthday to Neil and Vicki!

 

Thanks Doc. Yes Vicki, we can use the appropriate thought at the time clash. It's been great for reminding me of Mother's Day over the years, but I leave it to the family to remember Father's Day. Neil.

 

You both still having Birthdays? Happy Belated birthday to both of you.

 

Thanks MrBill, I suppose we should refer to them as anniversaries as we only have 1 birthday - sorry about that. Neil.
