[tri-wings] No one remembered

Yesterday was Leslie's 8 year angel/birthday. My parents were the ONLY ones who 
even acknowledged it. Sometimes I feel like maybe I should just forget, but how 
can I? I was the most disappointed that my best friend couldn't even bother to 
pick up the phone just to call to say hi. She would be rather angry if I forgot 
Christopher, Courtney or Callie's birthdays. Why is it that we are expected to  
remember other living childrens birthdays, but they somehow forget our angels?? 
Maybe I am just being selfish but frankly I don't care. It is hard enough that 
Leslie was born on my Dad's birthday, and that I am expected to put aside any 
sad feelings to celebrate with my dad, which don't get me wrong, I wouldn't 
miss Dad's birthday, but it is so hard. I just don't know how to deal with 
this. It seems to get worse, not easier every year. 
Thanks for letting me vent.
