OH has forgotten that it’s my birthday today. At 89, I only have 2 good friends left and they have both sent lovely cards, but what I miss is hearing an actual voice wishing me Happy Birthday. Still,I count my blessings. I’ve just picked a colander full of runner beans, my first tomatoes are ripening, my little cat is purring peacefully by my side and it’s not as hot as it was yesterday.

Happy Birthday Chicken! 89 is a triumph! I am 85 and lost my husband to cancer in 2008. I am so pleased you still have your DH and that your family came up trumps. Have a lovely coming year and then it will be the great 90! x

All birthdays over the age of 10 should be banned.

Happy birthday! Why don't you remind him, so you can celebrate it the weekend! There's no point in wasting time and energy at your time of life, enjoy the next week and remind everyone you know, be happy!!!

Really when a person has memory problems it is not kind to remind them of something they have forgotten to do.
They OP has said she will not remind her husband.
I fully understand this because my late husband suffered from young onset dementia. His art therapist very kindly made birthday cards for me when my husband was beyond remembering my birthday.
His therapist helped him to scrawl his name on the cards.
It's twenty plus years since he died and I still have those precious cards.
