I'm sorry it worked out that way, Casey. ((hugs))
I tend to be really, really sensitive about my birthday. I think it's because it was the one day of the year where my mom really went out of her way to make us feel special. As an adult, I tend to have these totally unrealistic expectations about how it's going to go, and I've been known to cry if so-and-so doesn't call or whatever.
This past year my big 3-0 was the same day as DH's MBA graduation. I totally understood that my big day needed to take the back-burner, but at the same time it sucked to have a house full of people and be running around serving on my birthday, at best getting an offhand, "Oh yeah, Happy B-day" from people.! After everyone left and the clock struck midnight I sat down and cried, because I was like, "That was my 30th???"
We did some serious celebrating a couple of weeks later, though, so that made up for it. 
Sorry. Didn't mean to make it all about me. I'm just trying to say I can completely understand why it sucked--especially with Dad gone, too. (((Hugs))) That really puts my little "woe is me" issues into perspective.
