Sta.sh
i've had this happen personally at least twice regarding my own father when he was absent on my birthday or similar major circumstance.
the first time i never would've known unless someone hadn't said over a decade later. the second time i was eight or so and worked out the circumstances didn't quite fit dad's pattern of behavior.
finding out or working it out is a really odd uncomfortable feeling; sad and wondering why someone you loved/admired who should care more didn't, numb , stunned and wondering why someone you weren't valuing as much, or wanting things from to the same degree, actually cares enough about what means most to you to give you something that'll make you happiest, receiving no credit and acknowledgment for their kindness and forever hearing someone else who couldn't be bothered, praised for their own unknown gift.
though i think if someone cared enough about you to do such a thing in the first place, seeing your happiness, hearing the praise of the gift and the happiness it brought was probably enough thanks in some ways, though i'm sure belated acknowledgment wouldn't hurt the giver either. ;]
