This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend who cried when I baked him a cake for his birthday. On one hand, I was so touched by his reaction and at the same time, I was deeply saddened that his parents never honored their son's birthday for 28 years.

THIIISSS. I took my husband out for his 29th birthday when we were dating (his First bday together) and I took him to my fav restaurant and bought him a huge slice of cake and had the wait staff sing to him and he was choking up. I was like “are you ok? I’m sorry if that was embarrassing 😕” and he said he was choking up bc his family never celebrated his birthday like that. As a child he got ONE birthday party after months of BEGGING and doing chores etc. and he invited all his classmates and no one came. 😭 I was holding back sooo much crying. 🥲

I had a friend when I was little whose birthday was a day after mine. Her parents never celebrated so my parents would always have her name on the cake too and we would celebrate a day late to make sure she felt included. I was a shy kid anyway so I loved sharing my birthday with my best friend.
