Expected behavior

I am a grandmother! Our granddaughter was born on Sunday. My husband, son and I drove to the hospital to visit with our daughter, her husband and to hold the new baby. It was the right thing to do. I've come to realize that certain behavior is expected during a special time such as an engagement, wedding, pregnancy or birth. I expected congratulations and best wishes from a couple people that to date have remained silent. I don't know why but to feel better, I pretend. "We're happy for you. Congratulations.". Working about 15 days straight at the flower shop. Lots of associates are out.
