@aragosta - I am so sorry your dad didn't acknowledge Lucas's birthday. We had a similar thing happen with my ILs, we didn't hear from them or MHs brother or sister on Colton's birthday, and I was so angry and so hurt. MH and I talked about it and decided it really mattered to us and we were not okay that they all forgot, so we decided to talk to them. I think it is absolutely a personal choice whether you say something, but I felt like, for us, we were not okay that they forgot, and if we were going to talk about it with them, it had to be right away, this first year, otherwise we set the precedent that it's okay.
I love your random acts of kindness that were done in Lucas's name - what a great idea. I hope the day was okay and you made some good new memories.
