So thoughtful of you, bttrfly. We are still sixteen days away from it, but thanks for having noticed.
I still don't know if I want to celebrate it.
If you have read my sitch you will be aware I am flying home in one week, I will be celebrating my kid's birthday on the 24th, mine on the 31st and then flying back on the 5th September.
My wife will be coming back on the 25th August, though.
This means she will be deliberately avoiding my birthday and that we will not celebrate it together, as a family, for the first time in 15 years.
I don't know what my wife has told the kids or my Mother.
I don't know what to tell my kids in order to justify the mother's absence without lying.
You can see why I am not eager to celebrate my birthday.
The problem is that my Mother celebrates her birthday the same day (yes, you guessed right, I was the best present a mother can ask for laugh ).
I guess we will just go out for a dinner.

And I still face the problem of how to interact with my wife the 22, 23 and 24 August.
