Last night, as Sean was shaving, I told him that I was going to wake him up singing this because it’s my birthday:
He walked out of the bathroom with shaving cream on his face and told me that as much as he is excited for me for my birthday, if I sang that at 6:30 in the morning, he may not be too receptive to hear it! I laughed and decided that I wouldn’t sing it that early in the morning.
I opened my eyes this morning and I knew that there was NO WAY that I would be able to muster up enough strength to sing that! Just after Sean got out of the shower and was in his room, he wished me a happy birthday and I responded with the weak, “Thanks!”
When my Mom came over, she was talking about a bunch of things and as she bent over to unplug my wheelchair, she stood up straight, gasped, and started singing me Happy Birthday! I smiled as I laid in bed and we create tried to shake some jazz hands by my ears.
As I sat in my living room trying to wake up, the birthday witches started to pour in! I received texts, phone calls, messages on Facebook, and emails, I even have opened my Twitter profile about 10 times just to see the balloons! As I became less groggy, I begin to get excited! I hope I thanked everyone! I think I did but they really started pouring in! My mom laughed at all the alerts she was hearing and every time I would smile. I showed her a post about my birthday last year and it had my two favorite birthday videos:
I’ve already told my brother, Dave, that, “Today’s MY day!”
And of course I had to show her the Grand Chawhee Clip from “All Dogs Go to Heaven.”
I ALWAYS reference those clips when it’s mine or someone else’s birthday! So much so, that Sean wanted to do something after school a few days before his birthday and before he waited for my answer, he let me know that soon it would be, “The Grand Chawhee’s Birthday!” I laughed and let him do whatever he wanted to do after school because I thought it was funny that he made a reference that I constantly do because I love birthdays! At least I’m consistent!
