Birthday

 


When a widow, who lives with a puppy and a plant, has a birthday, she is happy to get a phone call wishing her wishes.  She is purposely low on expectations.  Not many even know.  Others don't keep track.  After all, she has had a whole family life worth of birthday thrills.  She is still thrilling over that forever birthday gift.  

So when a widow, who lives with a puppy and a plant, is unexpectedly invited to a birthday lunch in her honor, receives unexpected perfect gifts, and then unexpectedly welcomes her family for dinner and a game of Spoons, well... she is beyond happy.  Whatever that word is... that's she.

The widow tries to fall asleep that night, but can hardly shut an eyelid because of all the unexpecteds that keep rounding and rounding in her sleepy mind.  She can't believe it.  She was so thought of, so cared for, so celebrated.  She!  A widow who lives with a puppy and a plant, had an unexpected best birthday and feels so crazy thankful.
