That would totally irk me, too.  My mother-in-law always sends flowers  
for Erin's birthday and angel day, which is so sweet.  My mother is of  
the mind that if you don't talk about it, it will just go away.  Other  
family members, some, not all, wwere better the first years, but not  
as much now--but it has been 14 years.  Our kids are older, though, so  
they're good at remembering and that's nice.
Could it be that your families are afraid they'll make you sad if they  
say anything, not realizing that you're going to be feeling sad  
anyway?  Some people just don't know what to say in those situations.   
I know I do much better now that we've gone through it ourselves than  
I would have  back in our pre-Erin days.

Hugs to you and your family,
Gloria--momy to angel Erin
