Facebook not Face to Face

Yesterday was my birthday... nothing special, mostly just a regular Monday. I got flowers that brightened my day from my lovely husband as well as a date to go pick out a new couch! :) I got enthusiastic hugs from my little girl and snuggles from my adorable son. Cake from my mother-in-law, songs from my best friend and even a peek of sunshine from my God. 25 is shaping up to be a good year. In addition to all that I got a lot of facebook notifications. But what was missing? my mother, the reason for the celebration... She didn't call (in her defense I did see on fb that she lost her phone)(then found it by 7pm). She did post on my wall on fb so I know she didn't forget or mix my bday up with my sister's (ami's is coming up, send your card now). I just feel like fb should not be a replacement for actual contact with people you love. So I will call her today, to remind her that she gave birth to me one day and 25 years ago... Love you mom. :)
neither of my sisters called either :(
