I'm glad you decided to move on, too.

I've had people make plans for me and then cancel without even telling me. I can handle people canceling on me if they let me know in advance - or even the day of, especially if they are disabled. I understand that things happen last-minute, too, with those who have busy schedules and all. But when someone else plans something for a special occasion, like your birthday, it's really disheartening to be ghosted. It's one thing if there was an emergency, but another thing if the person just drops all plans.

Hopefully your choice brings you closure to this chapter and this relationship.

I also hope that you had a good birthday, despite all that transpired. I think it is great that you were all able to safely socially distance at that time for your birthday! It shows that you all care for one another's health and the community's health, too! Although it is a small sacrifice to make during a pandemic, I really think that the idea was awesome! I tried to ask for people to celebrate the holidays and my own birthdays these past two years during this pandemic, but no one did. They'd send a quick text or make a lengthy phone call, but they wouldn't Zoom or video chat. I'm not as lucky as you!

I wish you a belated birthday!
