Happy Birthday...

 
My Big Niece´s Birthday today.
Had sent a parcel.
Biggest fight with Bro on another subject.
Braved up to call - not her fault we fight.

Bro. And Ingo and I, cause Ingo says I should let it all go. Is he right?

Have always been there for my "lille Bro" but apart from glasses nothing comes back.
 Irony. 
 
Got these from a friend who is on bad "mads". Citalopram.... no meds are these. They drive you nuts.
I know. I got them. I got so sick.
 
 
It was for my Birthday.
I am afraid of fire.

My dear Big Niece. I "braved up": lit this fire-thingy for you and called - despite your Dad and I had a huge fight.
Answering machine. Uh-oh. I usually hang up.
This was the very first time I waited for the beep to wish you a Happy Birthday.
 
Hope you had one and got my message. 

Fighting is dumb. We have but one life.
I am so hurt, Ingo and I got into fights too as he cannot understand how much this all affects me.
Having no job and all on top, I´m a wreck trying to stay positive in this "summer", one of the coldest I can remember.

Dumb, sad times.

Henry 🦁


So many shops close, this is one and Henry... Bye-bye. just like me.

Yes. You can argue I could have kids on my own, my own self-made family - and Ingo wanted this. (But I knew I´d be a bad Mum, having no patience and all).

I wished my Niece well.
Ingo said the phone will ring back in a flash, but it never did.
Families.... Yes, two posts again, I´m smashed. Crashed.

Oh, too bad about the fight with your brother. I hope your niece got your birthday message. Very sweet of you to call.

Happy birthday to your niece. And yes you did right, calling her. Just because brothers can be pains in the you know where. Mine too. But I just ignore him most of the time. Or try to. Hope you are having a wonderful Saturday Iris. Hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

gigi, thank you. I hope she got it...

Erika, sad we have to ignore them! Hope all clears up... Life is too short for fights... hugs from here.

Happy birthday to your v´niece and a bit more harmony to you and little bro. I neven had a brother, but sisters can be just as bad ;) But as you say, we have this one life only.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you. I sit it out. Kinda. Added another e-mail, reckon he´ll delete them both. Unread.

RedPat said...

Hopefully you will hear back and all will be well. You won't forget it though.'
Go ahead and print my pic if you would like to. ;-)

Iris Flavia said...

Laurie, I hope you are right.
It hurts so much. Thank you for being there.

Alles zum Geburstag to your Niece. You did the right thing calling her and leaving a message

River said...

You called and left her a message, it's up to them now. Hopefully you will get a message back.

Bertiebo said...

But you did the right thing, Iris. You!

I have learned if you dwell on a fight, you are the one who suffers, not the other person. So glad you left a message for your niece. I can't believe your bro wouldn't let her hear it. You definitely did the right thing, Iris.

Just read last post too Iris, so sorry to hear about the argument with your brother. I'm so glad you phoned and left a message, as you say it has nothing to do with your niece. You know my older sister drives me nuts at times, she makes things difficult so often, but I love her dearly and let it go over the top! I refuse to waste valuable time at this stage by fighting, time is too precious 💜💙

Happy birthday to your Niece.

So pleased you left a message for your niece.
You definitely did the right thing.

Thinking of you.

All the best Jan

Iris Flavia said...

CJ, I hope she heard it...

River, so far... nothing. Hopes are low.

____

Bertiebo. I hope it was of use.

Elizabeth, I hooe he let her hear the message and you are right, along with Ingo, I am the one who (still) suffers.

____

Grace, this time I am so hurt I told him to not answer. I need time. He hurt me too much this time. Just too much.

____

Nicole, soon she´ll be an old woman ;-)

Jan, thank you - sadly nothing came back...

Yes, fighting IS dumb -- life is too short. But I'm glad you called -- it's not her fault. And I join you in wishing her a Happy Birthday. I know it must hurt terribly but I hope in time -- and not too long a time -- you two can patch this up. Sometimes the aggrieved one has to be the one to start the conversation -- when ready. And that's definitely hard.
