Wow, it's like a reunion here! SIAS, Hi-hope you are well.
Ad, I think you handled the birthday thing with grace. The most I ever did was remind the boys that it was their Dad's birthday and I texted him Happy Birthday. Birthdays were a celebration in our house, too but when things change, things change.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
