Again, this is a throwback from years ago.
At the office, we always would make things that can make a birthday celebration unique.
One birthday celebration that is memorable, was of that lady architect in our office.
Everyone was given a colored square piece of paper which were collated and placed in a big greeting card by the HR assistant
After the birthday celebration consisting of eating (the foods were by the lady architect) and picture taking, she took the big greeting card and read each small greeting card one by one.
As she was going through the greetings posted in the big greeting card, she saw one that didn’t indicate who the greeter was. It was an anonymous greeting.
So when she asked us who could that one greeting that has no name be. We were all at a loss because we really don’t know.
But she told me, she seemed to know from whom it was since it addressed her in that particular name of her son, named Mac-Mac . Only that person addresses her that way.
So, she asked the HR assistant. At first, the assistant said “it’s not important to put the name of the one who greeted you, but what is important is that you were given a nice birthday greeting“ and smiled mischievously.
But the architect insisted and when the name was told, she said “I thought so. “ and grinned so big!
It was her former bestfriend, the lady mechanical engineer who two months ago she had a quarrel with, over some unintended bypassing of authority. They weren’t on speaking term since then.
It’s as if the friendship was really over. They both have a different group of friends already.
The lady architect was happy and I told her, “now it’s time to bury the hatchet”.
What she did, she posted that particular greeting at Facebook and made this comment “to the one who made this greeting, thank you so much! Your greeting made me so happy”.
And the former best friend saw it, texted her and they talked a long time over the phone. They were from then on, patched up.
Sad though, that she wasn’t invited to that birthday celebration by the architect.
Though, their friendship wasn’t as good as before anymore. It’s as if there was a wall already for their friendship.
They weren’t as close as before and are just like ordinary friends, not best of friends anymore.
Somehow, when something not nice happens between friends, the friendship will not be as nice as before anymore.
Can you relate? Has something like this happened to you already?

A festive or difficulty can help in improving the relationship of some friends or couples. But, again, it depends. Sometimes, the relationship might become worse than before. I would say, all these depends on the attitude of both parties and how they look at their relationship and is there any willingness to repair or improve their relationship of not.
Again, if the heart is "died", feel hopeless and feel negative, all effort is pointless. If there is no “love”, nothing could be done anymore.
I remember a story on “what can I do for you?”. If one really put his/her shoes on each other, and try to fulfil the need and make each other feel good everyday, other one can feel the sincere of action taken behind.
If all done without love and sincere, it can be felt easily by other one, all are meaningless. And, the relationship is no point to be held, separate could be a better alternative for both parties, I would say.
I strongly agree. Patching up things should come naturally from each one. Actually, sometimes it's the pride that takes over them, that's why apologizing or admitting each one's fault is so difficult.
But if they are both humble enough to admit defeat, patching up will also be coming naturally and at the soonest.
It was nice for the person to greet somebody in a unique way. The excitement will be so static if seeing this kind of message for the special day. I like the photo. It is so one of a kind.
Well, at least there was an avenue for the other one to do that. It just so happened that the idea of the HRD for the birthday greeting was to make that big birthday card where everyone can post their birthday greetings to the celebrator. And maybe the other party was already so willing to patch things ups already .
