Not so Happy Birthday...

*warning...tissues may be required*

This weeks prompt for 
A Dash of Sunny
is 

Personally I love my solitude...
I would be quite happy sitting alone on a hill top
 til I starved or froze to death.

But those with more troubled minds can spiral into darkness
and depression if left to their own devices for too long.
Now I am no "expert" in such matters...
but I do have a child with  such issues...
especially on days like today.

It's his Birthday...
he should be the centre of attention, but he can't cope.
So I will tread carefully and eat cake
(and bake a pumpkin pie which he always says he likes)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY...?

*sings* "Happy Birthday to You!..."
"no"

"Happy Birthday toooo You!"
"NO"

*says quietly* "happy birthday dear Zaaaa.....aaaac..."
"Shut UP!"

*whispers* "happy birthday to you....."

Well I'm still glad you were born!

Cos 5 minutes later...

The joys of motherhood come at a price
which I gladly pay daily.

  4. Awwww!!πŸ’–πŸ’–this is such a beautifully tender and emotive write, Gina. I agree, solitude certainly does not prove to be very fruitful as those with "troubled minds can spiral into darkness and depression."

    Nevertheless, you are an incredible person and a loving mother to Zack. Wishing him a very happy birthday πŸŽ‚πŸŽ‰ and loads of love and best wishes. Thank you so much for participating at Prompt Nights and for your constant love and support πŸ’–πŸ’–

    Lots of love,
    Sanaa

  5. A nice reminder that some of us enjoy different things, and that's OK. Loving and understanding hearts can bridge those differences. <3
