I have no family left except for a niece and two nephews who do not send me anything ever (two of them do not respond to my texts). Lost my last brother in March. He usually remembered enough to text but forgot the last year because of all his suffering with cancer.
A friend was nice enough to have me over for dinner for my 72nd last year. The worst one I can remember was my 70th when we had a hurricane in the city and I didn't go out at all. I spent a lot of time that day on the phone.I don't get too excited about my birthdays, but I try to be good to myself, do things I enjoy and treat myself.

My belated condolences on your loss. Never had any siblings myself though I would have liked to have had some. Both my parents came from big families. Mom was the oldest of 5 and dad the youngest of 6.
