I just had my birthday and got a great present from a friend. Since I can’t have dogs since I am allergic she got me a life sized plush dog of my favorite breed golden retriever. It meant a lot to me because I had one when I was younger.
What are some memoriable birthday presents you have received in the past?
On my 7th birthday, my family didn’t have whole lot of money, not even to get me a birthday cake. My mother felt really bad about this because she tries to make our birthdays special.
She spent the afternoon making dinner and putting together a brownie recipe with the ingredients we had in our house. After dinner she surprised me with it…well, as surprised as one can be with the smell of chocolate coming from the kitchen and a big-mouthed 5-year-old sister, and had put 7 matches in my oversized piece of brownie.
That had to be the best birthday present I had ever had…my mother actually baking something from scratch for me so I could have something to celebrate my birthday with.
I was living at a boarding school when I turned 18, and for some reason(drama issues probably) I was making this big ole deal about turning 18, as if it was akin to turning 40. So, there I am in my room at the stroke of midnight crying my eyes out cause I just turned 18. At that moment, two acquaintances from Japan and Ethopia, knock at my door. They came to wish me happy bday with a homemade bday card. I never felt more special,loved and remembered in that moment. I will always be grateful to them for that…
