So yesterday was my 50th birthday, and I figured I would spend the day at work and go home, like every other day, maybe have dinner out with husband, no big deal.

I came home to find that my BPDD had decorated the house, made me dinner and a card and invited my NBPDD to attend. They had a little surprise party for me, and it was awesome. My BPDD planned  the entire thing, she even made most of the decorations and SHE cooked , so the time and energy that went into this event is very moving to me. This is a HUGE event for me, and I couldn't express enough to her how much it meant. I couldn't give her enough recognition, I feel so encouraged today.

After the crazy bad day she had just the day before, with a total melt down, she still managed to pull this off. There is hope and I feel her love for me ( we all know that is such a rare gift from a BPD ). I hope somebody out there finds encouragement from this GIGANTIC LITTLE event.
