Yesterday I turned 30. (I am so wise now.) Being startled enough that I came to this age so damned quickly was nothing compared to hearing from my mother.
For the first time since she joined the dubs 27 years she has acknowledged my b'day. She is out of town and sent me a message.
"Who is 21 today? Or 30? Thinking of you. And 30 years ago 2 the day"
Mum is such a devout dub that I would never have imagined she would do that. If you knew her you'd understand that this is so extraordinary. Perhaps there is hope that one day me and my big sis ScrappyKat can free her from the WTBTS.
Smiles!!!
Mum acknowledged my Bday - for the 1st time

in a new york bethel minute
my mom always would call me and my brother and sister and say, "im just calling to say im happy u were born..." why didnt she want me to be happy on my birthday but she could? ha! its funny how even the expression "happy birthday" has been demonized, when there really is nothing wrong with saying it. and they know it too
