Yeah, sad way of looking at things but if that's your reality, it's best to make peace with it and keep going. I'm just glad you were able to be around other family for your birthday, instead of alone!

Thanks
Yes, I can't complain. I know of many people my age who had to migrate and live alone or have to share with perfect stranger with whom sometimes they have ungly arguments or even worse.
It is never going to be perfect, that I know now. I have to learn to appreciate the imperfections
