Yesterday was a bad day. One of our cats unexpectedly passed away. I don't know if there are any pet-lovers on this forum, but if there are, you know what I mean when I say my W takes it hard when a pet dies... even more so, unexpectedly. We consoled together at the vet's office. Our embrace was short & awkward. Other than shared tears & memories, that's pretty much the extent of our comforting one another.
W's birthday is coming up in a few days. I want to give her flowers (as opposed to roses), even more so because of the cat.
Interesting note regarding W's birthday. She has always celebrated the days leading up to her birthday by being pampered. This year is different, because I'm not the one from whom she expects the pampering. I have, however, remembered this tradition by giving her one of her favorite must-have candies. I did that on the first day. She didn't ask, and she was ecstatic that I remembered. Guess what? I discovered OM gave her the same candy, later that day!
It's a silly and petty thing over which to be bothered, but I found it oddly peculiar that we thought of the same special item on the same day. It makes me wander if W has trained OM exactly how she trained me.
