i agree absolutely with what you said about looking at the brighter side of things, but for me it's nearly impossible to take things this way. seeing my dad holding down tears at the christmas supper table (just the two of us, my brother no more lives with us, he's got his own family now) is something i can't really bear.
but it's just one day in 365, so it always passes quickly.

Two years is likely much too soon for you to find a brighter side to her loss when with your father on her birthday. Hopefully, over time though, the holiday will actually become positive as it gives you a chance to remember her (perhaps in a gathering that includes both your father and your brother with his family one day).
That is an incredibly hard thing to face each year. It reminds me why all holidays can be bad if we are oblivious to those who don't have any reason to be happy.
