Today it's my daughter's birthday.
I can not be with her and tried to organize a surprise party for her. I saved and sent her the presents on her wishlist. The parcel... It never arrived. Weeks passed by and is should have arrived at the 13th.
Someone took it, someone get's away with it.
A box filled with gift bags and a box like you see on the photo, a birthday card and candles for the cake... Candles to make a wish.
"My wishes never came true," she said this morning and another piece of my heart breaks...
A box filled with presents by me and her two younger siblings never arrived and disappeared of the radar.
My wishes never come true... she's not the first of my children saying that, who gave up on wishing.
I can not compensate what she misses today and I feel sad. Today, September 2, 2021 is a bad day in every way. My child was born at a Sunday at 2 p.m. with what they called "the helmet". The child I was so in love with, the child that makes me laugh out loud. An artistic child without a present.
" Don't be sad," she said, "I am used to be alone. I learned that at school."
School... it was one of the worst places to be. I hope she will have a good party afterall without me. I did my best but it wasn't good enough.

:( It is terrible of the postal service to lose or steal your gifts to her. I hope you all get to be together soon. It is frustrating to be away from one another and not able to visit. Hopefully by Christmas maybe?

I don't think we'll meet this year. If you adk me soon it's lockdown time again. They kept talking entire Summer how bad it is, keep forcing and spreading fear...the borders are closed soon enough. Same like the past two years. Summer you are allowed to go outside as soon as the schools start lockdown starts too.
I only read bad reviews left by angry people who lost their money, parcels. They all say post.nl doesn't refund anything and you can drop dead.

Sorry to see the disappointment, but, perhaps there is a lesson in life.
I grew up with two older brothers who bullied me, and,4 younger brothers who fight a lot and sometimes ganging up against me.
I never got any attention let alone birthday parties. So, wishes for anything for my birthday started with - does ANYONE know when is my birthday?
One day when I was about 13, I wanted to see if ANYONE knew that I was not home - I went to an amusement park with some friends till late - after dinner time.
And that was answered with a yes - my father found out and chased me with a stick around the dinner table but I was faster than him.
My wish - not a birthday wish - from then on was to make something of myself all with what I have and not take money from my father as my other brothers and the (youngest) sister did.
There is a saying: "hope for the best, but, prepare for the worst!"
The lesson is the last part of the saying: always be prepared for the worst that could happen!
There is another saying - the Murphy's Law:
"Anything that can go wrong, will [go wrong], at the worst possible time and place."
Perhaps it might help by telling my story - my first birthday remembered and given was by my cousins on my 60th birthday - the one and only birthday party that I have ever had.
Another lesson is in the first part of the saying: "Hope for the best" - it does not say "wish for the best". That way of mindset will not result in disappoinments especially later in life - why? Because there will be many many disappointments in life, so, stop wishing for anything. Just hope and be prepared for disappoinments.
All the best!

I am prepared for didappointments thanks to a childhood filled with violence. My birthday parties were mainly being beaten up with a dog leash or whip before the "fun" started.
This is not what I want for my children. I want them to know they are special and deserve the best. Our family is small, very small just me and my children. They have no family or friends who care beside of us. They can live with it but that doesn't mean they do not need attention or something positive in their lives.
They already are always prepared for the worst, they do not have a very easy life and it does hurt if a child can not make a wish, if a parcel send is stolen and the post laughs about it.
Not one of us will ever have a big party because we do not know people. Being alone on your birthday is not great. Not to my opinion. I know how that feels.
My friend went over with her partner and children and did those things I would have done. I am happy she did that and my daughter had some fun for a short time.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your e experiences. I appreciate it. 🍀💖
