[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks to those of you who understood that such greetings in my family are normal, and who could understand why it made me a bit sad not to have received any. I was not looking for presents or flowers or a three-ring circus, just simple acknowledgement of the day, which is what I do for them and they have always done. I realize that other families may act differently and have different expectations. I did have a very nice day with lots of hugs and kisses from my children, brunch with friends, and calls and emails from other friends. Please know that I do cherish these other relationships and am grateful for them. Just a little sad about my lone sibling and two remaining cousins. And no, I still have not heard from them. I will probably check in with all of them sometime this month to say hi, will not hold a grudge, and will continue to wish them a happy birthday on their day. [/quote]
