My sister hadn't given me a gift on my b'day or on xmas in year's.

I don't understand why she looks at me expecting a gift. Last Christmas I gave her a dream catcher, with neon lights. She loves it! Last birthday, I gave her my very own copy of Spyro 2 (we're both mad Spyro fans). She, of course, graciously accepts. Come time to my birthday. Sister has no time for me.

Skip ahead to today. Sister visits close to her birthday. She reminds me of her approaching birthday. I won't bend to her! I won't agnolish such a pathetic display...

I know where you are coming from...I often wondered why I even bothered acknowledging my family's birthdays (or anniversaries, mother's day, father's day, etc.), they never even as much as called to wish me a happy whatever. When I first got married they'd call my wife to wish her a happy birthday but not me. They eventually stopped calling her too. I never forgot to at least call them on these special occasions and let them know I was thinking about them...but I could never figure out why I continued to do that. Maybe it was because I'm a better person than that?
