Wait, I didn't fully get the point. Was she wanting to be alone at her 65th birthday but you were intrusive? Or had she expected to be alone at her 65th birthday but was pleased to find out that she was getting company?

It's very easy to do on this forum. There are so many interesting threads, going back to 2011/2010, and I've barely scratched the surface in the last couple of weeks! I'd also like to know how things turned out here.

We have know her for over 46 years, she was raised under foster care taken away from mother when very young rough. life one of my tenants, when I ran rooming house where I meet my wife she was one of my wife's bride maids
We took her to lunch just to check, we were not going to interfere with a birthday party found out her plan was to be alone shocked wanted to give her a heads up why did you not tell us your birthday, was two days after our wedding. You matter also told here we had 45 birthdays to make up for and that we had a significant present for you on your very significant 65 birthday. She is now looking forward to us joining her on her birthday, will spend the day helping her assemble the gift, After all you cannot take it with you from our perspective.
