What is weird is that I found out the youngest ones are younger than me. His son ran the Boston Marathon today I believe I looked up his results. My T was there for him, took time off work and all. I bet he sure was proud of him, it was his first marathon.
His youngest just graduated law school, got a great job.
I feel left out that I have nobody cheering me on sometimes.
Maybe last Friday is bringing back feelings from my childhood. I got the dates mixed up with another event, so my kids and DH had tickets for a baseball game. I told them it wasn't any big deal, they don't have to come, I will be fine.But you know what? I remember at our band award nights when I was the only one there who didn't have parents there. I was the only one who didn't have parents there on senior awards nights, I had to walk by myself down the isle. But I didn't tell them either because my mom would have to knock me down to her level if I got an award, so I hid them from her.
I guess this event brought back those feelings. I was really okay with it at the time I told them they didn't have to go, but once I was there and the only one with nobody, I felt bad. Especially when the profs walked around had had everyone introduce who was there with them. This nice lady said she would adopt me for the night, that was nice of her, but I still feel less of a human being.
