“A married man with kids celebrating his Birthday for four days?”
You forgot this is a particularly special birthday—his 49th. Didn’t you and your family give your Dad extra special treatment on his 49th birthday?
I celebrated my 49th last year.
My wife had to work late. My daughters were working, and couldn’t get the night off. I had to photograph two games, one at 3pm and the other a 7 pm—two hours from home.
I got home and found a cupcake with a candle in it at 1 AM.
Its not that my family doesn’t love me, its just that we are all grown up and we understand what it means to be an adult—sometimes we have to do things we would prefer not to, in order to get the things we need.
