My mother had been excited about turning 60. She always had a shrewd head for money matters and she had been looking forward to the better interest rates she would get as a senior citizen. Luckily she did turn 60 if only for a couple of months. This day, two years ago, she knew she was dying. She had a cake, friends around her, close family visiting, a beloved nephew who flew in to see her, a music system gift from her brother that distracted her from pain in the final weeks ... it was a good last birthday.
Happy Birthday, Maw! You know the prayers I have for you.

I remember that photo...so lovely. Always better to recall the good things than the memories of the other kind, even though they're often inseparable.
Hugs to both of you.
