I know this sounds like a stupid rant... But I am the youngest of six.. and all throughout my life the only one who remembered my birthday without fail was my mother.  I lost her to cancer 4 months ago and I am dreading my birthday and no one remembering.

I do have people who care about me, I am not trying to sound sad... but its just.. sad to know the day will come and go this year without hearing my mom, or anyone else say happy birthday.

We never had much money growing up or even now for that matter, so it has nothing to do with gifts...I can't even remember the last birthday present or even a cake I got and I am in my mid 40s.

Maybe I am just being silly about this.. I just needed to vent.
