AIBU no cards, no gifts etc on my birthday..

[Beefstew]

..and yet I'm delighted with my day.?

Today is my 51st birthday,for the first time ever my autistic sons remembered it during the day and insisted on making gifts(arts and crafts type of things) in (secondary) school for me and rang dh to arrange for a cake this evening.

My lovely 88year old Mam has dementia but rang me this evening and sang happy birthday down the phone ,she rememberedfor the first time in four years.
All six of my siblings wished me a happy birthday.
All in all it's been the best birthday ever with not a gift or card in sight.
AIBU that it's the thought that counts.

Happy Birthday xx

Ahh that is so lovely 😍 Happy Birthday!

Totally agree, what a wonderful day they made it for you. Gifts are not necessary, it’s the thought that counts and this sums it up wonderfully! Happy 51st Birthday!!! So glad you had a lovely day x🎂🎉💗🎊

That’s special. And happy birthday 🥳

How lovely 🥰 happy birthday to you!

What a lovely post to share. Cherish your precious gift of Today. And many many happy happy returns of the day x

Happy birthday! Sounds like you’ve had a very special day, how lovely🥳🥰

Happy Birthday!

Sounds like the best birthday ever!

What a nice post, it brought a tear to my eye to read about you mum especially. It sounds like a lovely day. Happy birthday!

about your* mum

Happy Birthday! I’d be pissed that DH hadn’t even bothered with a card!

Nice post. Happy Birthday

Happy birthday 🎂🥳

Happy birthday-mine is Thursday! 🎂🎈🎁

As others have said it’s absolutely the thought that counts. I would much prefer phone calls/happy birthday wishes rather than a card and some flowers through the post and speaking to nobody. Lovely that your mum remembered as well, cherry on the top x

What a lovely post. Happy birthday! ☺️

Happy birthday @beefstew! 🥳🎉🎊
