My d16's birthday is today. We gave her gifts yesterday, though.

D16 asked W a few weeks ago if she could have the ring I gave W when we started dating after W dies. W wrapped it up and gave it to her as a birthday present, which bummed us both out. D16 cried when she opened it. In front of all of our guests.

It pretty much ruined my evening.
