It's the Thought that Counts!

One year in August I called a dear friend to wish her a happy birthday and discovered, much to my embarrassment, that her birthday is in April. Of course, I apologized and made a mental commitment to remember her future birthdays in the correct month.

That incident reminded me of my Aunt Virginia. She told me over and over that I was her favorite niece, but she could never remember the actual month and day of my birthday. To not miss my special day she would send me a birthday card twice a year.

The interesting thing is down through the years never once did I receive a birthday card from her in the month I was born.

Two months out of each year Aunt Virginia thought about my birthday. As far as I am concern it is the thought that counts!
