Happy birthday to my sister in law

Tweet

Okay, so it's a tradition in my church media team that we make a free birthday flyer for birthday celebrants of each month, but to qualify, you need to send your pictures, birthday date and name between 25th to the last day of the previous month or even earlier than that. Because designing takes time, and due to my other schedule i need to be able to sort everything out to prevent urgent work. Since my system has limited space i always delete the pictures after use. Last month i made a lot of announcements on the church group reminding everyone to send their details for the month of May. Only few responded but i couldn't help but have the feeling I was missing something. We normally post the pictures at 12 midnight but recently i stopped doing that cause most times am usually too tired to stay awake till then so now i usually post it anytime. Fast-forward to today 6th of May 2026. It was around 6am this morning, my sister quickly called me telling me today was my sister in-law's birthday. I felt annoyed and sad at the same time. I had completely forgotten due many things i had to deal with and i felt bad cause she might feel we don't like her all that much, and i feel annoyed cause i made multiple announcements which she saw but made no move. For years i have always been the one reminding her and even the rest of my family, but this time around, since i forgot, she didn't even make a move. Luckily i still had the raw file for the designs i made for may celebrants and luckily we had some fuel. I quickly went to Facebook, got some old pictures from her page, put on the generator and made a quick edit. I hope I won't forget next year. Happy birthday to my sister in law anyways
