August 23rd..my birthday, also the day I was miscarrying, and also the day one of my ex-friends had the audacity to call me complaining about how crappy she is feeling knowing what I was going through and then she forgot to tell me happy birthday. That was the day I realized she is self-centered and I no longer want to be friends with her. That is also the day my dad came to see me from Oklahoma and took me out to dinner.
