We deserve a celebration.

Thanks for validating how we feel. We appreciate it.

One year when we were waiting to have our mammogram done, the tech came out into the waiting room and addressed us as Mrs. We corrected her as you did in your situation. The tech became defensive and insisted that she was just trying to be respectful by not calling us by our first name. We told her that's what "Ms." is for.

Never mind the notion that it's actually *more* respectful of a person's privacy to use the first name rather than the last name when speaking in a waiting room full of people.
