mom played it three times on the living room speaker and i just sat there like.. ok. im not usually the crying-at-birthday-gifts person. sister kept hitting replay which didnt help??

flowers felt lazy for her 60th so i panicked. one of those personalized song quiz things, basically confessing her tomato garden drama and the neighbor feud to strangers. filled it out in my car after work like a weirdo.

no preview which felt stupid. dropped $99 on unique song mostly because another bouquet seemed worse. waited four days checking email like an idiot before the link showed up. worth it apparently.

opening verse sounds like a hallmark commercial narrated by someone who knows your moms grudge. mom cried anyway. played it again. then again. dad bailed to the kitchen.

anyone else gift a custom song for a parent and survive the group cry moment. whats your less embarrassing backup when everyone gets weepy
