Barbsy, I like the idea of 2 days. Luke won't remember next year that he had two parties, and even if he does, you can explain to him it was because Daddy was gone on his day.
If you want to make Luke's real b-day special, and he can't talk to Daddy that day, how about if Daddy makes a video or cassette recording before hand, wishing him happy birthday, singing Happy Birthday and maybe reading a story to him. This will be a treasure for years to come.
