[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 739815, member: 23349"] I just had to say how much this resonated with me, too! C's b-day is coming up soon, too. 33. Cards sound trivial, compared to everything else they are putting us through, until you're standing there in the card aisle faced with 300 variations of "I'm so proud of the man/woman you have become" or "I'm so lucky to have such a great son/daughter!" or "you're not just my son/daughter, you're my best friend." Something about picking birthday cards out for them when they are really struggling just brings home how crazy their lives are. Nothing seems to quite fit what I want to say, if I want to be truly honest! Where's the "hoping and praying this is the year you'll finally get it together!" card? [/QUOTE]
