Weekend Kindness
Reaching Others Through Kindness

Husbands, do you make your wife feel special on her birthday?

I have it rough every year, but especially this year.  You see, my son was born on Dec 19, and my wife was born on Dec 21 (she brought him home from the hospital on her birthday!).  So, that usually means that we have different celebrations, different guests, different presents for Christmas, but this year, there’s an added wrinkle.

You see, not everyone could make it on Saturday, when we would have liked to have our son’s party, so we’re having our party tonight.  On my wife’s birthday.  That kind of makes it difficult to celebrate the birthdays separately.

I assume that it’s that way for those that have birthdays on Christmas, or share a birthday with a family member.  I’m going to try to make sure that she feels special by getting her things throughout the day before her party (hope she isn’t reading this!).  I will try to have her open one of her gifts tomorrow before I go to work.

What kinds of things have you done in this type of situation?
