She called to wish me happy birthday
Even sung the birthday song to me
He heard her on the other phone
As she sung to me you see

He walked into the room afterwards
Tossed a twenty dollar bill at me
Gave me a quick kiss and off he went
With his friends he celebrated you see

It wasn't his birthday, it was mine
But about mine he never did care
I've grown quite use to being forgotten
It just doesn't seem very fair

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Let him get plastered
The sad old Ba***ard,
Happy birthday to you.

I really do wish you all that I would wish for myself, and as much again. The cake is on the table, the red candles burning in the silver candelabra, a bottle of champagne is on ice: One day you will have these things - Trust me !!! You desrve them. Sunny and I just for this moment send you a special red rose. ---->@
Kind thoughts,

Sue, I know the feeling..after 32 years.(30 in the same home)..I received no acknowledgement from him last month (I gave him a small party for his)...despite allowing him to remain living on the property until the divorce is finalized.

Happy Birthday Sue, and a big hugggg..I know it doesn't help...I use to get those mushy cards..apologizing for not showing enough love, but I wanted it daily, not once a year in a card.

  Thank you!

Madame Chipmunk
  Thank you, Lyra! There was no celebration for me. I sat here in the house. And, I mowed the front yard. Thank you for the birthday hugs! I sure needed one.

Kellie_Cantrell
  Thank you, Kellie!

BluesSerenade
  Thank you! You know, if we didn't live on his mothers land, I would not only change the locks on the doors, but I would tell him to pack his bags and get out.

  Thank you my friend. And, thank you for the hugs. Your friendship means so much to me. I hope you are feeling better.

  Oh my! Cake and candles, even champagne! Thank you! And, thank you and Sunny for your friendship. Also, for the special red rose.

  Thank you! And, thank you for the hug. He doesn't even give me a mushy card or an apology. As for love, I don't remember how that felt. And, I am like you, I would want it everyday, not once a year.
