A much better birthday

Our youngest DS turned 39 on Tues. As he and his DF were feuding last year, I was invited to meet them at a restaurant for a dinner w/o DH. It was a dismal affair, I could hardly hold back the tears. Now that they are speaking, we were invited out for cake after supper. We visited with the DGrDs while the parents made a quick trip to the open house for youngest girls school. I tried not to think of last year and just be grateful for the present. He turned 39 - our baby. When did I get so old?? I actually had him later than most of my friends, so was into the whole kid thing longer than they were. But, having 7 years between boys was very nice. Gave each a chance to be themselves and no competition. Now they are each other's best friends, talk and visit each other weekly. So glad they will always have each other.

I'm so glad this was a much better birthday and that youngest son and DH are now getting along again.

Jacquie, I remember last year & how sad you were about your DH & son. It's so difficult to be in the position you were. I'm glad this year is happier. Things always seem to work out, but it's often miserable until they do. Cal
