Ok, I am seriously on the verge of crying, but I think I'll be ok. My first emotion is being totally pissed off, but the root is sadness. i threw my husband his first birthday party, a surprise at that. I contacted many of his non-jw friends, folks who said "hell yeAH! I'll be there!"...
it's his FIRST EVER birthday party, and it was his 25th....a BIGGIE. So why the f&*% didnt people show? I'll be honest...i'm somewhat of a perfectionist and want everything to go the way it's 'suppposed to go'....but IT DIDNT. When i had my 'FIRST' birthday party at the ripe old age of 21, it was amazing. I was surrounded by extended family, who I always rejected but who never rejected me. These are truly good people, but they f'ing said they were gonna come and DIDN'T. I'm PISSED.....but mainly hurt. I took a chance and asked two of his jw friends to come & one of them did. I am so thankful for those that did show up,yet i'm having a really hard time with those who said "you bet!" 'i'll be there"....and didnt show. That is just unpolitically correct. Its rude.
For any witnesses who are reading this....there are so many different types of people in this world. This is an isolated incident & I'm simply stating my emotions. Sh&t happens and I'm gonna just roll with these hurt feelings.
