A couple of weeks ago Granny Sherry and Alex held a Baby Shower for Leslie and Tobi. Being Leslie’s dad David and I had asked if we could help, but told they didn’t need any help.
So on Saturday the day, David was told the baby shower was taking place he took the whole day off. This way we wouldn’t be late to the baby shower on Saturday. David called his mom to find out what time we needed to be there only to find out the baby shower was actually the next day Sunday afternoon. Which meant David couldn’t take it off so we would arrive late if he got off at the regular time.
David and I rushed on Saturday trying to get the baby album finished which was being created by Nancy Moore Smith from Heart to Heart Soul Creations so Leslie would have it on Sunday.
So it made me very upset when Leslie didn’t make more of an effort to meet with her dad to check out the album with him. Or even spend time with David. But that wasn’t anything new.
On Sunday David rushes home from work where we can all get dressed and head out to the shower. Now mind you it starts at 3 pm and knowing David’s family the way we do we figured it would be late getting started.
We arrive at 3:25 and they have already opened all the presents, sent Tobi home as he wasn’t feeling well. Packed up all the food and gifts so David couldn’t even see what all Leslie received.
Which caused David not to be able to see his other children or for Charlie to see his sister or brother. So after all the money David put into the album and effort he put into getting there Leslie still hasn’t taken the time to call and thank us for the Gifts.
My question to everyone today is where is common courtesy and what happened to thank people for the things they do for them? Why wouldn’t you make time for your father and brother? As one day one of you just might not be here and what would you do then?
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
