interesting topic
YES i cried every birthday
i remember the one birthday i was playing piano in church i could hardly control my tears
i had to pause and go downstairs and have a good cry

the pastors wife came down and asked if i was ok
so i spilled the beans and told her my story
she just held me

and said she would help me in any way to get a picture to me....
btw....shes an adoptive mom which i thought was neat
i needed compassion at that time
but yes crying was a common thing over the years
