PONDERING

I just had my birthday a week ago. This year I intentionally hid my birthday on facebook.Suprisingly a few of my friends still remember my birthday. All it took was on person and soon wishes kept pouring in. I was a bit disappointed though, the one most dearest to me forgot my birthday until a few days later. Maybe after seeing all the birthday wishes on my wall.She claim she was busy and had just started working. Oh well I will give her a benefit of a doubt.  A year past and year older and another day nearer to the grave.  I did not really celebrate my birthday, though I was hoping she would at least have dinner with me but that did not happen.Maybe it has got to do with age, as one grows older, one yearn for the love ones more than anything in the world. I don't know if it is true for everyone,but that was how I felt. Nothing is more important than family and moreso on my birthday. Just to have your family around you is better than any presents.
 I just had a simple meal at hope on my birthday. But on the eve on my birthday a few friends gave me a a dinner treat at on of the Thai restaurant in Petaling Jaya.So thoughtful of them.
In two weeks' time my grand daughter will be celebrating her 2nd birthday. At least that's one birthday I can look forward to.
