How should I handle this?

Anyway, we still correspond once in awhile about unromantic related things. For example, last week I e-mailed asking when he was going to be visiting my H work for something he was scheduled for job related, just so I would have a heads up on the situation. He sent me a casual reply, as he always does. Things have been cool and friendly lately, that’s all.
Well, I don’t know why, but I thought for sure he would probably send me an e-mail or a private message on the other board wishing me a happy birthday. That never happened, and it really hurt my feelings for some reason. I still consider him a friend, and as a friend, I would have certainly acknowledged his B-day with a simple greeting.
What I need advise on is how to handle next week – St. Patrick’s Day. OM is Irish and I created an e-card for him way back in Jan or Feb scheduled to be delivered on March 17th. Unfortunately, I don’t have the confirmation number anymore, so I cannot edit or delete the card. I signed it something like, “To my favorite Irishman. Love, (me)”.
I probably would have sent the card to him anyway, just as a nice gesture for what I believe is an important day to him, but I would not have signed it “Love”.
After he receives the e-card, I believe he will send me an e-mail thanking me for it. Should I send an explanation that I created the card a long time ago and was unable to change the way I signed it. That I did not intend to make him uncomfortable by signing it “love” or let him think that I was trying to stir up a romantic relationship again. Or, should I just pretend to take the high-road and let it go as is with no explanation.
I will be so glad after next week is over. I am ready to begin NC again, but I don’t feel I can until all of this blows over.
