Post Re: Blood is thicker than water

[QUOTE=TRANCOSO;169625]Blood is thicker than water, they say. Meaning that the family you share through your bloodline is tighter & more important than your friends & soul mates will ever be.

Now, 2/3 of my closest family (my sister & my mother) have simply forgotten my 50th birthday, while the people I consider to be my friends didn’t.

In answer I would say to "count your Blessings" that you have friends who wish you a Happy Birthday........and your Mother's attention is on her husband who is dying of cancer...have some forgiveness for her if she is not focused on your 50th.....parents get older...the years slip by...having a Birthday is not so important whereas dealing with the issues of Death become more important.
