[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 67893, member: 97"] if they mention their son mention to them about your birthday and ask if they would like you to remember their special day with them or if they prefer to remember it in private. I know when my son died, I nearly crawled into a closet. I felt weird. no one I knew had lost a child. no one would mention him to me at all. if I brought it up, they cut me off. gradually no one spoke of him to me at all. even now it has been many years and no one mentions him. it is like he only existed to me. the first 10 yrs or so I was so distraught I called off work on the anniv date of his death. on his birthdate it was terrible because it was my mother in law's birthday. each year I had to be at a party and sing happy birthday and a lot of time bring the cake for her. I hated that. I would be tempted to send your neighbor a small card just saying thinking of you on this day, if you want to talk, I am here. [/QUOTE]
