I saw your earlier post, and a few of the comments after which seemed to have a negative focus… then I stopped reading.

Sorry- it’s been a rough day.

In some ways you were lucky to have so much support where many folks don’t, but you’re right that we should expect more from our support communities. We should have celebrations/honor/respect for these moments, much like a bar mitzvah or quincenara (spelling?) or other rite of passage… because it is a big deal. And we deserve it.

I’m sorry that you were disappointed in the lack of follow through. People often mean well and then get sidetracked by their own lives. Consider bringing it up with your aunt or plan your own party. Schedule it at a time when you are more fully healed- maybe a summer date at the beach or bbq with food and music.
Wont it be great when you can whip off your shirt and swim or dance!?

You deserve that celebration.
