The trip he was suppose to do in late September got canceled. His boss didn't get the paperwork in, on time, to register him for the Certified Landscaping Engineer test he was to write.
His boss told him it would be rescheduled for "sometime in October." Well, he found out yesterday .... he will be leaving, by car, for Connecticut, to write his test on same Friday his birthday lands on. He'll be there all weekend, arriving back late Sunday afternoon.
We are all bummed.
Even with sharing visitation with XH, we have never missed celebrating any of our children's birthdays, ON their birthdays. This will be the first time.
I know we can celebrate before he leaves, or after he gets home - it's just not the same, that's all. My young man isn't even going to be in his own country on his birthday, let alone with the people that love him and want to celebrate his special day with him.
