Awwww…that’s so awful knowing there’s no way we can rewind that day and make it un-disappointing (is that even a word?) I wish I could ship butter cookies that I made on the weekend, all the way from India! Poor baby.

It probably hurt you way more than it hurt him!

All you can do after the fact is apologize. We have so darn much to remember, it’s surprising even half of it gets done.

Once I forgot about the Thanksgiving Dinner at school where parents get to eat with the kids. Jon sat and waited and waited for me and I never showed. I know that you feel like dirt now, and I can’t say that I have ever gotten over hurting Jon like that. But I sure have learned from it and that’s good. Tell him that you’re really sorry and that you feel really bad but sometimes parents make mistakes too.

Just to cheer you, it will give you a point of reference (a theme in the m. l’engle book i just finished) when other troubles befall him.

You will be able to say, do you feel as bad as you did on your 10th birthday?

I would give you examples from my mothering experiences but I’m depressed enough.
