I will try to make this short. Today was my husbands b-day. This was his first b-day without his mom and dad. He lost his mom on 12/10/03 and his dad on 2/18/04. It’s pretty much been depressing to say the least. He has 2 brothers one who is about 55 and the other who is about 48 (not sure if I guessed their ages right). I expected the middle brother not to call since we are into it, but thought it was pretty low of the oldest not to call little brother for his b-day. I may have to make a thread in the pit about it just not ready for that tonight. I am mad to say the least. Hubby doesn’t act like he is bothered by it but I am. I know deep down he has to be hurting. Anyone care to wish him a happy birthday and anything else they would like to throw in?
HAPPY 38TH BIRTHDAY BABY
P.S. To his brothers: Your b-days are coming up in October and November and if I were hubby I wouldn’t budge on a phone call. You all are low down and good for nothing buttwipes.
Note, however, unless you live to the East of the Atlantic Ocean, there is still quite a bit of time for his brothers to actually phone in. The habit of waiting until evening calling rates (or, better, after-11:00 p.m calling rates) dies hard with some of us geezers who can remember a single early phone call actually upsetting the monthly budget. (And even if they are local, they may still have just not gotten to it, yet.)
However, your husband may take comfortfrom the knowledge that he shares a birthday with Quenn Elizabeth I and J. P. Morgan (along with the night/London phase of the Battle of Britain and, apparently, Google™).
Hey thanks tomndebb for the nice b-day wish!!! Didn’t know about the others that shared his b-day. That is fun knowledge to know.
Hate to be so negative about the phone call but the brother were not speaking too lives about 200 yards away (really) and the other one about an 1/8 of a mile down the road (really). Hubby always said that when his mom and dad passed away he wouldn’t have a family anymore, with the exception of me. His dad was the glue that held this family together.
I assume this is the same guy you showed up with in Nashville?
If so, happy birthday! You seemed like a good guy from the little time I got to spend with you. I hope your spirits (and relationship with your brothers) improve. Cheers.
Antigen I tried to make his b-day good. Can’t say I did that great of a job though.
Aesiron, yes this is the same guy I was with at the Knoxville Dopefest. We have been together for almost 12 years now. I have no plans of going anywhere. This is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with and if mine ends tomorrow I’ll know that at least the last 12 yrs have been good. Incidentally we had to leave the Dopefest early because of his mom and dad. Hubby was their primary caregiver (they were both wheelchair bound), and they greatly depended on hubby because the other brothers wouldn’t do anything for them. I’d give my own life to have them back just to see hubby happy again. I’m sorry for being in such a crappy mood.
Happy Birthday (a day late) Mr. Ashkicker. I know I met you at KnoxDope, but I didn’t realize your birthday was just before mine. Hope it was a good day, and I’m sorry I missed this thread yesterday.
)anyway.
