The main time I remember that I want to remember my friends' birthdays is when my birthday is coming up! Sad, I know. Thank you for sharing something that makes you feel loved. That is such a kind way to treat people. I so often want to show that I'm clever.... I have had someone respond to me in the gentle way you mentioned and it very calming. I feel very gently treated and cared for and like I want to learn more from that person. (Thinking of that level of civility makes me picture a Jane Eyre era drawing room.)

I blame my new work and never seeing my Yahoo calendar anymore, but really, it was me. Thanks for the chance to redeem myself. :) Something that makes me feel loved is when someone listens to me say immature or poorly thought-out things, and without being confrontative or pointing out my frailty, gently introduces another point of view to let me qualify or reexamine what I said. I feel safe, like they want me to succeed more than they want to look clever. I’m so sad that I missed your birthday this year!
