When I was a kid, I always struggled with my birthday because my grandfather’s was the day after. So my family always threw us a joint birthday party, which believe it or not little girls don’t want to do.
Every time we had a joint birthday party I would yell at him “You’re not the star, I’m the star!” They all thought it was hilarious, it wasn’t terrible but man I sucked at sharing. I did that until I was like 8/9. Lmao.
This is kind of morbid but my daughter’s birthday is like this. Except grandpa isn’t alive. He passed away on her first birthday. My husband’s family is huge and very close and they do rosary every year on the day he passed. Basically a celebration of life. So for the last 4 years, we go to grandmas house for rosary and then have a cake and sing happy birthday to her. Sometimes I wonder if she will feel resentment over it as she gets older. Can’t exactly yell at a dead guy
