I still try to make each birthday special (single parent, only child). We celebrate together when we can, even if not on her actual birthday. During college we planned a weekend for all the ones she was in the US. For one she was studying abroad. For that one I made a special e-card with family photos and planned a special day for her to enjoy. She is abroad again this year, so I planned some special surprises for her. I expect when she returns stateside we will continue to celebrate together over a weekend as work permits.
