Belated Birthdays

As many of you know I have a very strong memory. I can remember what people were wearing the first time we met, how they smelled, and even what their younger sibling's favorite movie is. However, when it comes to birthdays I am literally a hot mess. I truly make a concerted effort to remember and yet they always seem to sneak up on me and then pass right by me. Ask my grandmother, cousins, or more recently my college buddies. I don't know what my problem is but I want to issue a public apology to anyone who's birthday I recognized after the fact and to anyone who has a birthday approaching. The fact is I am going to forget and remember days later. My Bad in Advance.
