My S continues to be away babysitting while coming home on the weekends. I miss having him around. The question I have is that my W has a birthday coming up in 2 weeks. Should I do anything aside from wishing her a happy bday(friendly cashier) ? Also shall I bring it up with S should he want to do something for his mom or just get out of the way? Thank you all for your support and prayers. Blessings.
I agree with all that the priest told you.
As for W's B-Day, you can say something only upon her contact and that's it. The friendly cashier doesn't reach out to wish you a happy birthday. If your S doesn't remember, I would remind him for his sake, only. Let him decide how he wants to proceed. Stay out of it. If he does nothing, so be it.
Hope this helps. Let go. Drop the rope. Let God.
