dream on
Next week is my 20th birthday. sadly i am not looking forward to it at all. Its not the age, its just the day. On your birthday you expect the people you care about, and who care about you to celebrate friendships and happiness together. except come thursday i know that i wont hear from the people who matter to me the most and it will break my heart. im trying to prepare myself for it now and be disappointed before hand so it doesnt ruin my day, but i know its going to crush me. I'm not at all one of those people who make a big announcement on the day that i am the birthday girl blah blah blah and expect so much. i have always hated being the center of attention. I dont like people watching me open presents or whatever. that stuff doesnt matter to me, all id ever want is a thoughtful card or phone call to let me know you care, that im being thought of and wished all the happiness i deserve. that kind of stuff means the world to me. sadly, i know not to expect it this time.
on an even more sad note -
For the past 8 months or so i have been getting calls from an old folks home about a woman. The home calls for some man (richard) updating him on his mothers health. Sometimes she has fallen down and hurt herself. Other times she is doing just fine. After the first few messages they left i called back and let them know that they had the wrong number. Richard wasnt being contacted and his mother is hurt, so that needs to be fixed. The home thanked me for calling so i thought they would get the correct number and call him. But nope. i got more messages from them, and every time called back to tell them its still not the right number. Today they left a message saying Richards mother had "Expired" today with the exact date and time. i find that terrible disturbing for multiple reasons. 1) How inconsiderate and rude to leave a message for some one saying that their mother is dead. 2.) Expired? Was this woman some kind of non perishable food that went bad? people dont expire, they pass away, or become decease. 3.) still the wrong phone number. this man wont find out his mother had passed away until he calls her and doesnt get an answer.
AND when i called back to let the home know that it was still the wrong number she was incredibly rude. weird.
anyways, richard- prayers are with you and your family. may your mother rest in peace.
