15/02/14: You.

first date.

Day 82.

Happy Birthday.

Sorry I couldn't spend it with you. I really wanted to, but I guess that's not for me to say. Really hope you had a great day though, with the people who love you. Sure seems like it, and that's good to know :)

I'm grateful for today, it's the day you were born. Cheesy as it is, I'm always grateful for the day where the people who are important to me were born. So yeah, I'm thankful for today, and thankful to your mum for having you today all those years ago, even if you were an accident. Haha.

Was clearing out old photos and notes in my phone today and I stumbled upon the photo I took of you eating KFC at home the other day. I had almost forgotten about that day: when we wanted to cook but ended up being too lazy so we called takeout. You were all hungry and grumps and annoying that day: everything that always makes me want to roll my eyes but I still smile cause that's the you I fell for. Then I saw the note where we listed all the places we said we were gonna go and things we wanted to do after A's. Feels like it was so long ago right? All of that, it feels like it was long ago...

I remember telling wit a few months back what I wanted to do for your birthday this year.

How I wanted to make it really nice cause you had a pretty bad one 2 years ago. In a sense I wanted to make up for that bad memory and give you a better one to remember, and you're enlisting soon. So I wanted to make it real special. Guess I was a little far sighted, but I'm still glad you had your family and good friend with you to celebrate on my behalf instead. 

Be happy alright?

That's all I hope for you this birthday. That and well, for everything to go your way I guess, army included. Maybe one day we'll be the friends we said we were going to be.

Happy Birthday dear boy,

I'm really glad you were born, that somehow or rather we met and against all odds, I fell for you and you made me a better person. Thank you.
