I just make too much of things. My dad doesn't hate me, he just forgot about me, ha!
Got this email from him this morning:
Hi Abandoning Eden,
Sorry it's late but Amazon just reminded me that it was your birthday. (I think you put this in my computer many years ago.)
So, Happy birthday!
Hope all is well.
Love,
Abba & Mom
I guess it was my mom who always reminded him about my birthday, and didn't this year. (my dad signs his letters "Abba and Mom" but I know my Mom had nothing to do with it).
So yeah. Now as for how to respond...do I send him an update about the wedding with a few pictures as if we are a normal family? I think I will...
I missed your birthday? Aw crap! Happy birthday!!
ReplyDeletejudah- go check out my livejournal, i just posted some of the videos you made at the wedding :)
ReplyDeleteHappy B-Day as well! Can we see your videos somewhere?
ReplyDeleteWhy pain him for no good reason? You are not going to change him.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until you have a child and you'll be amazed at how fast your mom turns around - after all your child will be Jewish, and besides, a grandchild is a grandchild. I've seen and read many such examples. I recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/Invisible-Wall-Story-Broke-Barriers/dp/0345496108/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1243970779&sr=8-1
ReplyDeleteWhile I don't want to spoil the plot, the mother....
Jewishrebel- I'm going to post the wedding ceremony video up on heaven not haven once youtube posts it (it's long, so they have to check it our something? I'm not sure how long that takes). I haven't actually seen it yet, but if it doesn't have our last names anywhere I might post it up here too.
ReplyDeleteThe other videos are of people like saying congrats and stuff...would probably be boring.
olam- i've heard that a LOT, not sure if that will be the case (my mother is incredibly stubborn), but we are planning on having kids so we will find out :)
Thank your Dad but DO NOT send pics or videos.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Olam hasheker, wait till you have kiddies.
