My birthday was over a month ago
I had expected everyone to forget about it
I had except now we are doing something
I cannot believe grandad would book the cabin
For my birthday
Was I really that important for grandad to bring the
Holiday forward?
Grandad and the others always go in the summer
Not easter
Whats really has impressed me is Samuel, Jack
And holly keeping it a secret from me we never
Keep secrets from each other
I wonder how hard it was for them to not tell me
They have grown up so much in the last year
I don't know if I like it
I am walking towards Jacks room to say goodnight when I hear Mum
And Holly talking in Holly's room
Mum never tucks the triplets into bed that is my job
I press my back to the wall of the hall and peep in to
Hollys bedroom
Holly is sitting up in bed while mum is sitting
At the edge of the bed
Mum has one hand on Holly's
Are you coming to the lake district mummy?
Holly asks
No holly I have to stay home to work but
You will have grandma and grandad with you
Mum says in a calming voice
I see the smile fade from Holly's lips as
Her bottom lip start to quiver
I wish I could go in and give her a hug
But I cant not while mum is in there
Mummy, you have to go its a family holiday
Is daddy coming
Holly asks hopefully
Daddy wont be home in time to go on the
Holiday honey
Mum says
Holly tells mum she doesn't want to go
On the holiday without her
Mum tells Holly she will be going
I can't hear anymore and run to my room
I can't believe mum did the one thing she
Told me she would never do
She broke Holly's heart
