This is how my Birthday went. I got up at about 6 AM and my husband turned the T.V. on before even dressing. He had his coffee and although he talked a little he left for work and never even said happy birthday. I had coffee and about 9 Am the phone rang. I answered Hello, and I hear this, "Hi Grandma Happy Birthday." that was my 6 year old grandson, soon after he tells me his sister wanted to talk and she also said Happy Birthday and told me she loved me. She's 4 years old. Then I talked to my daughter, and she informed me she was going to take me out for lunch. We live about 3/4 of an hour away, but she came and we all went for lunch. There was my little grandchildren with gift bags and they both gave me a gift. My daughter gave me a card that would bring tears to any moms eyes. She really is gifted when it comes to buying cards. My son in law had to work but I was so happy to hear his voice, he even phoned me from work to tell me he had every intention in joining the family for lunch but he was sorry he couldn't make it. I told him I totally understand and I knbow he is providing for his family. I was just so pleased to hear his voice and knowing he had thought about me. I had a very good day then tonight I checked myLot and you talk about an overwhelming feeling I got to see how many people wished me Happy Birthday. I am so very happy with all of you. Thank You!!!

mEN...mEN , that just like a man to forget or just ignore a birthday..Thats sounds like my husband so don't feel bad,there is a lot of them around haha...I know that it meant so much to you to have the grandkids call, and lunch was a super idea, it makes you feel special when the family thinks of you.I am so glad you had a good birthday...Well i know all of us here at Mylot wished you a happy birthday....My husband forgets birthdays, anniverseres,valentines day, and i never forget.I always want to pay him back by forgetting his to teach him a lesson but i always feel bad ,so i end up getting him a card and a gift..It really upsets me but i have to think about his day to day actions , and really he is pretty good to me ...so anyway i am happy that you had a good day...Hope you have many more wonderful birthdays.

Your comments really made my heart feel good!!! I guess I was pretty disappointed in my husband. I always remember his and given the fact that I take care of his brother and neither one had the time to say Happy Birthday did rattle my cage a fair bit. BUT it's all good thanks to my good daughter and her family.

Happy Birthday, Grandmaof2. You are so blessed to be remembered so dearly by your loved ones on your special day. I wish I have a day half as eventful as yours on my birthday, but mine's usually a relatively quiet affair. And you have lots of people here extending their wishes to you as well...that's the icing on the cake, if I can put it that way!! Live it up on your special day, grandma!

Happy Birthday Grandmaof2!!! It is good to know that you enjoyed your special day with full of love from your most precious people from your heart! Cards and gifts are one special gifts to receive but the very thought that people especially your loved ones didn't forget about your birthday is rewarding and heartwarming! I know that your family would have been very pleased knowing that they were able to make your day special and make you happy! Good health and God bless your family always!

Yes I love my family dearly. I'm told it is a man thing but how rude. I could never be that way. His brother is just as bad and I cook and clean for both of them. They never forget their birthdays or supper time or where the clean laundry is kept. GRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrr lol

Oh boy, it sounds like you had an absolutely wonderful birthday! You are very much loved, that's for sure, and your family showed it. It's the little things that mean so much, they can't be bought, they have to come from the heart. There sure was an out-pouring of love for you on your special day, and I'm so happy for you.

It's great that you had a good birthday. I don't celebrate mine much anymore but my Mom still makes a fuss over me on it and that's really nice.
Years ago, she forgot my birthday and when she remembered about 2 weeks later she rushed out and bought the first thing she came across...a watermelon. Now, every year I get a watermelon. It's a special thing between her and I and it's become a tradition.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Birthdays are not much of a guy-thing, at least not for some guys, but the rest of your family sure came through for you, including the sweet call from your son-in-law. I'm glad you had a great day, and was happy to see so many of our mutual myLot friends stopped by to comment on your birthday discussiion. You rock, Grandma!

My children really do love me and I'd be lost without them. I only had one daughter, people used to tell me I was a good mom and why didn't I have more kids. I used to say, "Well when you do it right the first time there's no need to have to do it again." Well now years later like 35 years later I look at my daughter and I am so proud of her and she has given me two of the best grandchildren God has sent here.
