Yes, we still do birthdays together
Today was my daughter's birthday. The celebration sort of started last night. You see when she turned one I started a tradition of making sure that when she woke up she had a bouquet of ballons in her room. This year it turned out that she wasn't going to wake up at my house on her birthday. So I called my ex, and asked if I could bring by the balloons last night after she was in bed for him to put in her room. He obliged, and the tradition continues. Tonight, we did the annual cake and ice cream. The crowd has become significantly smaller as my daughter has grown. There were no grandparents or childhood friends. It was just my daughter, her brother, and I along with my ex and his girlfriend. Everyone had cake. Everyone acted like an adult. My daughter got to enjoy her birthday with her parents at one time. It is possible to cope with divorce, stand in a same room, and even smile. I do it for one reason. It makes my daughter know we really love her.
