Birthday Tears

I'm going to be honest. I shed a few tears after Kaleb's second birthday party. It wasn't because I was sad my baby was growing up or because I was reminiscing about how small he used to be. It was because only 2 people came who weren't grandparents. TWO! Of all the people I invited, all the friends I thought would want to be there to celebrate my son's birthday, only two came. It broke my heart. It still breaks my heart to think about it. I know Kaleb doesn't care and won't remember it at all, but I was counting on those people to help make his birthday special. Two of the people I invited had legitimate reasons not to be there, but the rest didn't come and didn't even let me know they weren't going to be there. I had to text them 20 minutes after his party started and ask if they were coming. That shouldn't happen! I had a flashback to my lingerie shower, the most hurt I've ever been, and I never want Kaleb to feel what I felt. I'm really going to have to think about things for his part next year. I'm very disappointed in my friends and family.
