Heartbreaking but warm in the end.

I've never had a birthday party for myself, either, so I feel for Rodney.

So, when's your birthday & where do you live? At the very least, I can send you a birthday card! *grin* (Also, my 2 & 5 year olds love to sing Happy Birthday and color birthday cards, so they'd love to send something too!)

[jennytork]

LOL!

((((((HUGS))))))) Thanks for the thought. It's late July and email me if you want to know more.

*gives sympathetic shoulder to lean on*

I've never had more than a few friends on my birthday. And doubt I will ever have a surprise birthday party ;(. Not that I mind, because I come from a small, but close family.

oh, wow. That's so sad! Poor forgotten Rodney. And I can really sympathize with his not wanting to celebrate after his grandfather died on his birthday, I almost don't want to celebrate mine because *my* grandfather died a couple days *afterwards*. The day of? God...

This was awesome. Thanks for posting it!

I do very much like your icon, by the way. Some of my major pet peeves are referenced. :)

Glad you liked it.

I did have a friend who had his father die on his birthday. That must be a lot lot worse.

So sayeth the person who puts him in the infirmary on a regular basis lol.

Glad you liked :)

[leesa_perrie]

Moi?! Put Rodney in the infirmary? Surely you must be mistaken!!

*evil whumping grin*

Nice. Convoluted reasoning on his part, but understandable.
Thanks for sharing.
