Make A Wish

It is my belief that everybody must have a birthday cake on their birthday. After all, that’s what birthday cakes are for. Call me sentimental but there is a sort of fulfillment when you get to blow out your candles, no matter what the number indicates.

Sigh! Sad to say, the school where I work in had to cut expenses. So the individual birthday cakes had to go. And it so happened that they made the new rule on the exact day of my birthday. Sigh!

I perfectly understand . . . in my head. But, I would have still liked to have my own cake and candles.

Oh well, you can’t have everything.

And then on the 3rd day after my birthday, a group of friends surprised me with a party. And yes, they brought a cake, with candles!

Who said I can’t have my cake?
