I just left it. Actually in the end of the day I tried to call but she did not answer and I did not leave a message. I feel guilty and broken. Like if I had somehow found a way to be the perfect daughter she wanted none of this would have happened.

My birthday is tomorrow, a few days after mother's day here. She always complained that I was born a few days too late and deprived her of her first mother's day. I was disappointing before I even made it out, I guess.

Do you like having a birthday (birthdays, if there are more than one)? What do you do to make the day go by? Do you tell anyone?
