birthday money

ok, so......i referenced birthday money a few days ago...and it is still on my mind....the day after my youngest turned 15....and her birthday money is still on the table...in envelopes or in gift cards...but still within inches of where it was received......and i am in awe that the young can walk away so casually from a source that will dry up all too quickly......i have fond memories....and saved birthday cards as proof.....of checks from both grandmothers.....and later from my parents if they would not be coming down for my birthday....never from my in-laws.....that is actually an inside joke from us outlaws...who were the only group excluded in the final will and testament let alone birthdays....but i digress.....the day will come when there is nobody left to send birthday cash.......when we are so old as to be orphans.....that day is approaching and i am not sure how i will handle the birthdays that follow......
