Listening to all the special cakes you bake throughout the year makes me think that those of us whose birthdays are usually forgotten are the ones doing the most to recognize others.
I had the bad luck to be born early in September so my birthday is always lost in the first day(s) of school. And then I became a teacher so it continues to be lost at school.
Countless cakes and special memories for others who have birthdays in months like April or November but never ever in September. However, I do enjoy having those yearly reminders that time continues to march along.
Next year, throw yourself a party and invite all the people you want to; it will be great fun.
