Hello dear @Shaz51

Just meant to say that I don't do birthdays now as it's a reminder of my abusive mother. Appreciate the gesture my friend but would be grateful if no mention of my birthday was made on the day on the forums here. Thank you.

My friends and family do not really get why I don't do birthdays anymore but I know you will understand. I am letting go of all that is negative in my life, things and people now for my own well being. Letting go of my mother is not remembering my birth or being reminded. It's just another day to me. Thank you for your understanding. Hope all is well in your world 😊

Hi @Shaz51, I am a September baby 🙂

[Shaz51]

what date @Susana 

[Faith-and-Hope]

@Susana It’s okay to not give the date if you feel it is potentially identifying information ..... you can give any date and we will celebrate that one for you ....

💐

Thanks for asking @Shaz51 and understanding the deliberation @Faith-and-Hope… We have six September birthdays in our extended family. Let's celebrate mine on my son's, which is the 20th 🎉
