<3 heartbroken <3

I must say that it is pretty heart breaking when the people you count on disappoint you. Especially when it's your family.

This past Saturday, we had a little get together at our house to celebrate Milo's birthday. I ordered tons of food, and invited family over. Of course, they showed up- his and part of mine and that's when the disappointment comes in. I find it extremely rude that some people from my family (immediate family) didn't show up. This makes me angry and upset. Milo has always gone out of his way to try and help them out especially when they ask for rides, etc. Not to mention the fact that we always show up to every family function.

Yes, they gave a gift. However, material things don't matter as much as the feeling of support and love that family can give you. This feels like a giant fuck you to both me and Milo. That his birth doesn't/ didn't matter enough for them to celebrate. As much as revenge is wrong we have said that we will no longer be there for the birthdays of those that were not present. It will be like our own FUCK YOU.

There have been MANY excuses made on behalf of those that did not show up. However, screw the excuses. We are all old enough to not be relying on excuses as much. Plus, just because you have an excuse doesn't make you not showing up any less rude or any more acceptable. Nor does it take away any hard feelings.

Thanks for the bullshit family. I know I can always depend on you for that.

And really- thanks to those that showed up. We had a great time and it really meant a lot to Milo!

Life is GRAND- though a bit disappointing at times.
