Hi Gershon, painful short poem but well penned. One time when my late husband was on a business trip and was busy prepping for a store opening, he and I both forgot it was our anniversary. We spoke by phone that evening and apologized to each other, lol! Shalom :)

Oh my! One is sarcastic and the other cutting! I forgot my husband’s birthday, once…lol. We went very early that morning to the Louvre…the Louvre! A teenage dream…oh my I’m in Paris. We sped through the place, trying to capture its entirety, then we walked..and in the evening my husband says, “Kim, did you forget it’s my birthday.” Faux Pas, mais oui! He forgave me.
