Forgot My Mom's Birthday

So I’ve been thinking about this for days now. You know how birthdays are just the worst, right? Like everyone’s always so excited and you’re supposed to be too but what if you forget something really important? That’s where I am. Last week was my mom’s birthday and I totally spaced it out. I’m not even sure when it was anymore, but it must’ve been some time last month because she had that big meeting at work, remember? But nope, nothing from me. No card, no call. Just crickets. And now I feel terrible about it. What am I going to do? Should I just send her an email and hope for the best or what? It’s like there are these moments in life where you just drop the ball big time and you’re left wondering how to pick up all the pieces. Now, if only I had remembered my own birthday, at least I could’ve gotten something from her, right? Oh well, maybe next year will be better.
