I thought about texting W with some 'clever' one liners, like:
- Happy 50th. With every breath you take you are moving closer to 70 years of age, than you are to 30;
- You are now so old that when you were born the Grand Canyon was just started as a stream in the desert;
- 50th birth day, hmmm. What is the Guinness book of Records for old people anyway?
Ok, my lines were not so much funny as mean. So I did the smart thing and I did nothing - no texts, no phone calls, no FB posts.
This morning W called me to suggest I take d18 to a movie, which I told her was a good idea. But I was preoccupied with work, and so I said nothing more. Not even a late happy birthday wish.
I feel I am coming off more cold than detached with W. But she is living with her om, and this is not easy for anyone to deal with. I am keeping our children as priorities as best I can.
