Not anymore. It used to be a big deal for me. I loved the celebration, the gifts, the birthday cake...and now the only one left who could do that for me would be my son, and he really, really doesn't care about my birthdays. I am lucky if he calls me and wishes me a happy birthday. AND he doesn't want to spend too long on the phone.

Last year was my first excellent birthday for a LONG time, because I had absolutely no expectations...not from anyone. I gave up on expectations. AND because I was finally able to be realistic, I didn't suffer.
