I felt awful this morning when I talked with my sister on the phone and she asked me if I greeted our cousin on her birthday last week. I almost cursed myself when I realized that I completely forgot the birthday of no less than my favorite cousin in the world! My sister sensed how frustrated I got with the fact that I didn't even send an email or text message greeting to let our cousin know that I remembered her birthday.
That cousin of ours and I were almost inseparable whenever we got together. She's like a sister to me, and at times my real sister even got a bit jealous of our special closeness. That's why it's a major blunder on my part not to remember her birthday, which I never forgot in the past, just as she never forgot to make my birthdays memorable every year.
I really felt guilty for forgetting my cousin's birthday. At first I weighed the odds whether I should greet her and apologize at the same time or just to keep quiet and pretend that I never remembered. Of course, my guilt took over and I gave her a call to pour out all my apologies for being a total twerp to forget such a very important occasion.
After I called my cousin and she told me that she didn't mind at all that her birthday slipped my mind, I still felt guilty. I wanted to make it up to her, so I racked my brain on what to do or what to give her as a special belated birthday gift. When I logged on to the Internet to search for some gift ideas, I came across some World of Sweets coupon codes and knew that I found the perfect belated birthday gift for my favorite cousin.
I say that giving her a present from World of Sweets is perfect because she's the sweetest person I know. I remember that she made the sweetest gesture of bringing me to the Griffith Observatory for my birthday last year to give me the most magnificent view of the Geminid meteor shower.
She knew how much a stiff-necked stargazer I was and how I marveled at anything that had to do with the night sky's twinkling myriad of jewels. When we were young, I used to spend my vacations at her family's home in North Hollywood. We spent many nights lying down on their lawn and I would point the constellations out to her and tell her mythological stories about why the warrior Orion, who was gallantly fighting the bull constellation Taurus next to him, couldn't be seen in the same sky with the scorpion Scorpius or why the constellations Cassiopeia, Andromeda, Perseus and Pegasus are near each other.
As we grew older and our talks shifted from heavenly bodies to the more thrilling topic of boys, my cousin still regarded me as a stargazer. That's why she knew how much I loved the meteor shower at the Griffith Observatory, and I couldn't thank her enough for arranging the trip for me. It was the sweetest of all sweet gestures she had done for me.
I'm really glad I found the World of Sweets coupons because they offer big discounts and the best deals on a wide selection of chocolates and other sweets that I'm sure my cousin will enjoy. She is as much as a sweet tooth as I am a stargazer, so I know that my World of Sweets belated birthday gift for her will be very much appreciated.
