Believe me, I know how you feel. It's hard, knowing that if you had known just one more thing, none of it would have happened, and all that suffering would have been prevented. Very hard.
You did the best you could with the information you had. Information that was being controlled in order to manipulate you! You couldn't have known. He wouldn't have let you find out.
[Ford says this as someone who has plenty of experience with ignoring birthdays due to multiverse weirdness and unreliable alien calendars and also experience being twins with the sort of sibling who makes a fuss about birthdays.]
You know, if you want to spend it together, I understand. But, if you'd like...we do have unlimited credit. In Hawaii. I'm sure we could put something together, for him and a few close friends.
[Ford knows that spending birthdays by yourself can be very lonely. It isn't the same as Jon, of course -- Ford was missing the absence of a twin, and he has the idea that Jon hasn't had a similar history of someone there to make a fuss. But also, Jon has friends here, and it's nice to be remembered.]
Nothing too raucous, of course. What do you think? This hotel has to have a lounge or deck of some sort. We could take it over for a few hours. I'm sure no one would mind.

It'd be good for him, I think. Surrounded by some friends on the day.
