We’ve been playing interference with phone calls for the last few days, and today, mom instructed me to tell everyone who calls that she’s not available. One of her brothers, I believe, called to wish her a happy birthday. Are you kidding me? (Good intentions and all, but — what the hell?)<\/p>\n

My sister bought her a pendant inscribed with my dad’s name and his nickname for her. I didn’t even think to get her anything.<\/p>\n
