This year was a big birthday for me. I was not looking forward to it for quite a while before my birthday and I had a good cry about it. As the day got closer, though, I stopped thinking and worrying about it. I think I eventually realized it was going to happen and I couldn't do anything to stop it.
I didn't plan anything big for my birthday. I was even contemplating whether or not I should do anything at all. I ended up deciding to get ice cream with three of my friends that evening. And the next day I met up with three of my brothers and nephews who live in the area and ate at Cheesecake Factory.
Something surprising started happening on my birthday morning though. I received a text message from one of my friends wearing a t-shirt with my face on it. I was confused at first. Where did she get the shirt? Why did she have the shirt? etc?
Shortly after that initial text message, I started getting more messages with people wearing a t-shirt with my face on it. I soon learned that my sister, Lara, had the t-shirts made and my sister, Heather, helped design them.
Lara had contacted my friends and former co-workers to get their addresses. She then proceeded to send the shirts to my family members, friends, and former co-workers. I received a bunch of text messages on my birthday and for a few days afterwards from family and friends.
Every single one of the messages made me smile or laugh!
Enjoy the collages of my family and friends wearing a t-shirt with my face on it. 🤣
I feel really loved and I'm so grateful for my family and friends. 😁
