Maybe lunch together.... or send flowers?! Definitely a gift for the LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doing-something-nice-to-make-up-for-missing-birthday#post-2813498 Sun, 01 Apr 2018 21:05:42 +0000 Lighthouse 2813498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Long story short, I’m missing my good friend’s daughter’s dohl (first birthday). The first birthday is a really important celebration in Korean culture and I’m so sad to miss it. I’m also really bummed because for a variety of reasons I was unable to attend this friend’s bachelorette party and baby shower. She’s been super understanding but I know she’s been disappointed we haven’t been able to celebrate these big milestones together. Is there anything I can do to show her how much I care and wish I could be there? A birthday gift is a given, but something else to recognize the significance of the celebration? Thanks so much for any suggestions! </p>
