Surprise birthday party!
August 31, 2013 at 3:46 pm
Ok, so apparently when my mom said "children, you should spread your wings and fly", she didn't mean that we should all go to different corners of the world.

But, for a her 60'th birthday party we decided that we should hold a surprise birthday party. All of her children came from all over the world to celebrate.

It was an amazing success. She didn't expect it at all. She cried (and like any good mom the first words out of her mouth were: "I don't have food for all of you"), my dad cried (well, I did see tears running down his face, so I assume that counts as crying), I cried (and got the first hug - I am the youngest child after all) and it was just one of the most amazing "make someone happy by just being there" experiences of my life.

Does anyone else have any cool surprise party stories to tell?

I have one, but it would ruin the mood of your wonderful story, so I'd rather not post it Tongue
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Thanks for not spoiling one of the highlight in my life, Kay Smile

There is no way that you need a 60'th (or 50'th or 40'th) birthday party yet.

I think.

See, I'm not completely tactless Wink

But really, what a heartwarming story. It's wonderful to have such a family and such a mother Heart

When my brother was 14 he had a really serious infection after the operation which was supposed to remove his appendix was done in a sleazy way.
He spent almoust a month in hospital in great pain. Shortly after he came home he had his birthday, and for some weird reason I bought him a Xbox 360 with money that I had saved up for over 9 months for the purpose of doing something else.

Never saw him so happy. Smile
