No birthday present today ...

I'm 25 and my only remaining family is my uncle.
He lives in New Zealand.
My grandma is his mum but she passed away last year.
He always sends me a card and gives me £50 on my birthday and Christmas.
This year just a card.
I know I'm 25 now but with him being my only family left it made me feel special.
Even if he gave me £1 I would of still be grateful as I thought it meant he cared about me.

Not really a question I'm just feeling a bit sad
He must have only been keeping me sweet because my gran was alive.
He hasn't rang me in a year either.

Oh that’s hard OP. Happy birthday. So young to have no family Flowers
You say he hasn’t rung for a year - that’s rubbish. Have you spoken all year (ie have you rung him?)?

I've tried ringing a few times but just got his answer machine
He will email me once every months but that's it now.
