On my day!! With a belated Birthday wish for a dear friend...

Here's what happens on days set apart to celebrate your birth...otherwise known as Birthdays!

1. Texts start trickling in after midnight and I'm guessing those are texts triggered by reminders on some phone calendar set for each year.
2. You log on to your Facebook page and suddenly that red pop-up thingy on your notifications icon has more notifications than you've ever had three months combined. This again is due to that Birthday reminder people get on Facebook. Which I tend to unintentionally not see!
3. People around you are chatty....just not as much with you. They are particularly busy and don't need your help. That simply means they are planning something.
4. Mom making a special meal just for fun.
5. When they do bring out the Birthday cake, everyone remembers how old you are....except for you of course. Reason being, Selective Amnesia regarding your age presents itself after 26yrs.
6. The Birthday song they are singing does not sound as exciting as your yester-years and one verse is more than enough.

But here's what I love about it..

• You amazingly reconnect with people you have not seen or spoken to in ages!
• Those texting you in the middle of the night took time to save your Birthday's reminder for the rest of that phone's life. And I'm not saying being woken up a dozen times from your sweet dream is cool...just so we're together on this.
• Those little surprises tend to be super cool especially when you think of how many people love and care about you.
• When it's your son singing you that Birthday song......It turns out to be SO CUTE AND AWESOME!! Not saying the rest of you can't sing it....just do it with one verse in mind.

 

This is the cute version of Joshua singing "happy birthday"

 

And here's the disturbing version involving a squished balloon.

All that said, I am so thankful for all of you. You made me smile. Thanks for the wishes and the love. :) :) Most grateful for my lovely family for making my day awesome!! I love you all!! God bless you. I still have a few hours to go....so keep them chocolate bars coming..... Belated birthday wishes are also highly accepted :).

Cathy Agalo Happy belated Birthday! I love you girl. I did not forget your birthday intentionally. I had a later date in mind. You are special to me and I pray for you. May God bless your every move and may He use you in doing His work. May His glory shine through you. I love you! Again, Pole sana. I owe you!
