I prepared some meals for my birthday today. A milestone comes along with my birthday cake. I baked a moist chocolate cake with my niece. It just happened that I wanted a cake. Besides the point, it is a family's tradition to have a cake on our natal day. A birthday is incomplete without it. I did not invite anyone outside my family. I just want a peaceful and happy moment with them.
Do you have any family traditions for birthdays?

@Shavkat It is not weakness to me. It is kind.

I hope I can pursue it. For now, I need to learn the basic ways of doing them. If I am ready, I might just have a short-term course in TESDA. I just want to have a simple celebration. It is the second time that I have not celebrated it with my lovely mother. I am sure she is sending her message spiritually.

In my husband's house birthday is not celebrated and neither in my father's family but I celebrated my husband's birthday when he was alive and my sons whenever they are with me.

If I have my own family, the tradition will always be practiced. But then, I am doing it with my immediate family without any second thought. Since my biological parents are not here anymore, we still prepare something and offer it on their altar to celebrate their birthdays.
