there is the possibility that she knows someone who works at the store since it is NEAR HER. The other possibility is that she saw you in the store and you didn't see her, or someone who knows you both saw you and reported back to your mom.
What you might do is if possible, substitute your picture for the one on the card and ask if she recognizes the person in the picture?
The whole thing is JUST TOO coincidental for me to believe that it is. Something is up.
happy birthday and good luck with your mom.
Great Story and teriffic dress - you look great!! The real question is -do you want your mother to know? If yes, take the card, put the dress in the trunk of your car and ask why - It will all come out if you want it to.
From my experience, mum's always know everything. I know mine did. Wouldn't be surprised if yours does too.

Fiona, such a cute story and I'm sure how much you wished it was all based on your Mom knowing..then again, as stated, Mom's are all knowingMaybe you should see what you get for Christmas before devulging all to Mom..
That is a cute pic of you..and maybe someday Mom can see you as you want to be to her.. someday..keep them fingers crossed
Thank you for sharing..
Hugs,

I recently told my mother about it after some very pointed offhand comments. she mentioned metro a few times because she noticed the en drab femininity. It went much better than I expected it to. like the everyone else is saying you know your mother best and if you feel you should and that she will take it well, then by all means do tell her. You may be shocked at where it leads and what doors open up for you. Since telling my mother we've gone shopping and have become closer on a much different level.

Are you sure she doesn't know? Does seem an amazing co-incidence that she gave you the price of the dress that goes with the card.
Personally, I would try to broach the subject with her before showing her the dress, but then you could put iton and use the line "is this what you had in mind?"

Reality check, there is no reason to think mom knows anything! it's just a card, maybe mom just thought you are at the age when one worries about getting older. It's what the card said, "don't worry, It's just a Birthday". It just happens to have a girl instead of a boy on it, so she wrote the note so you would not think shes getting senile. You bought a blue dress, not mom, it's just a coincidence. Your gift was around the same price as the dress, another coincidence, after all, dresses come in all sorts of prices. It some times amazes me just how much we can see while in a pink fog, but just like a Grey fog, what you think you see is not what is really out there. If you don't think mom knows, and if you like it that way, I would just put that picture away and enjoy that happy coincidence for what is.
Happy Birthday!

Well you look great in the dress and what a way to say thanks for the present, might be a shock too far though
Amen, Bernadina! You beat me to it. I think my mother knew all my life, but didn't want to bring it up, out of shyness or fear it would make me panic. Besides, what did one do if one was TS in 1957? Enter an asylum for shock treatment, is the likely answer.
Shortly before she died, she said she wanted to talk to me about something. As I have siblings, including one she lived with, I don't think it was about practical matters. I called her back the next day, but she was out of town (with no mobile phone). Sadly, she died before we could talk. Nonetheless, I think she was on a path to give me her valedictory blessing.
And Fiona, the dress is lovely, and it really suits you. By all means take the photo with you when you visit your mother. Whatever happens, I wish you much happiness.
Time for a change.
I'm sure your Mum knows.
Why not invite her over telling her that you want her to "meet someone".
You could then go and get changed and make an entrance.
I'm sure you're Mum would be absolutely delighted to meet her new daughter.
BTW just wear a normal day dress, not a wedding gown.
One thing at a time!
Fiona:
I have to agree with all the other "girls" here, you look absolutely beautiful and self assured. You above all people know your mother. I can only hope mine could leave the perfect opportunity to come out. Your self-assuredness showes on your face. I hope to one day have that level of confidance (sp). At this juncture, I haven't even found my name yet (alas, the screen name). I wish for you a truely moving and bonding moment with Mom and Sis.
happy Birthday
Hugs and kisses
don't you just love serendipity? (did i spell that correctly?)

By accident I opened this thread up at the end and read where someone had quoted you. A youngish girl suddenly sprung to mind that had not long left home , so I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice lady when I actually got to the start of I opened the thread by mistake at the end so did not see your photo to later but before I saw it I had an idea of a person that has just left living at home so that just shows how we can all jump to conclusions, so be careful as I have often thought the same as my wife showed so many signals/hints that I was certain she had worked out my other side, how wrong I was when I was outed , it does seem a bit unreal to be true so maybe she does know ,the question is are you brave enough to go in the dress and visit her are you ready for it if you are wrong.
You certainly look good in the dress anyway so it could be that dress for a specal occasion
If it was me I would probably do it for the fun and then whatever the outcome you will both end up knowing ,
Mmummm! I can see that I have repeated myself above as my phone whent s bit nuts so I hope you get the idea of what I mean

Excellent advice, and I'd go one step further. Bring the pic, but tell her first. Then judge by her reaction as to whether or not she might like to see the pic. Or you could tell her you have a picture and ask if she wants to see it.
You do look great in your pics!
EDIT - Oops, I forgot ... Happy Birthday!!!

Maybe she actually knows. Wouldn't be so surprising. I mean mom's are pretty smart - in mysterious ways we don't have a clue, ya know? If she does know & that's why it was a girls card, that's pretty nice of her - and very sensitive to your possible delicacy. Or I should say very respectful to you. Mom's are so cool to begin with. Aren't they though? Aww...
Wonderful dress - yooo loook mmahvalous
Edit - oops 4me2... Happy Birthday!
Wow. It's scary but what the heck! Go & wear that gorgeous dress for your mom!
Great story, hope your talk about the card leads to you being able to tell your mom.
