Candy,
I'm sorry you are feeling sad, hurt and mad over this.
Yes, people, especially family and friends should be more thoughtful and caring.
I just think everybody for the most part is caught up in their own lives and problems. I'm not saying this is right, I just think it is the norm.
The people who make the extra effort, and celebrate their friends, like you, are the exception.
Have I told you this week yet, that I think you are EXCEPTIONAL!!!
Hugs,
EJ
