Do you know what I mean?

Like it's hard to figure that system out.

Like we don't all get to stop on everyone else's day and tell our kids and our job and our family and our sickness and our whatever that this is Jodi's day.

It's just a bad system.

You know, instead of everyone having an individual birthday, if we had like an international holiday, which was like gratitude of people you love day.

And we all on that day,

agreed that we were going to stop and tell each other whatever.

But this June 2nd being her birthday and being everyone else's June 2nd is a tricky situation.

Yeah.

And maybe we don't get it.

All year.

Maybe most people feel unseen and unloved all year.

And then on their birthday, they're like, at least this day, please.

And then you feel like people don't even get that right.

I always think of that scene from The Bear where Jamie Lee Curtis is in the kitchen freaking out and she's like,

I make things beautiful for everyone and no one makes things beautiful for me.

And it was a wild scene.

But I think about that all the time that that is a caregiver's internal mantra.

Do you guys have any good memories or stories about birthdays?

Oh, that's so good.
