70th birthday. Husband smiling said There's another present in the kitchen. I walked in and there stood my son and partner whom I haven't seen for 3 years and my daughter whom I hadn't seen 18 months. Everything suddenly seemed unreal and I cried for a few minutes. Husband had to get me a drink. I was almost trembling. It was such a shock. I feel so stupid now for behaving like that. Why did I not just snile and say What a wonderful surprise!

The best birthday present! ?
How thoughtful of them all to spring their surprise on you at home, where you could react to your heart's content and not feel embarrassed in public ?

Because you are a month. Many of us haven’t seen our children in many many months, in my case 18 months, and I for sure will react exactly the same when I see mine. Have a wonderful 70th year.

It was indeed a wonderful surprise*nadateturbe*. Perfectly natural response. I have been known to cry for more than a few minutes when DD2 and SiL arrive from Australia.

Happy 70th birthday and many more returns. Well done to your lovely DH.
