The A never contacted me to wish me a Happy Birthday nor Happy Mother's Day. I checked my e-mail and someone I never thought would wish me a happy birthday did. He said he hoped all my dreams come true. I started crying because he had no idea how much this meant. I had plans to visit my Mom today. My stepfather is an A and is usually not emotionally present. I got to my Mom's house and my stepfather was whispering about my birthday cake. Wow! I never thought he really cared. We had such a wonderful time celebrating family and being together. I made a wish and blew out the candles. I can't tell you what my wish was, but God knows. My mother gave me a card that had me crying. It basically said that you will miss all the miracles in life if you don't stay in the present moment. I had given her a book about miracles and another gift for Mother's Day. It seemed like little miracles were happening today as long as I stayed in the present and aware. Today was a wonderful gift. I am so grateful for my children, my family, my Alanon family, and my HP.
(((((kissers))))) I am so happy that you had a wonderful Mother's Day and Birthday!!
For me, this was the first mother's day in years, where I wasn't dissappointed. I did get a call from my qualifier, but it was manipulation and I didn't bite. I had no expectations and enjoyed myself the entire day.
Here's to many many more Mother's Day and Birthday's where you are touched by angels.
