Your birthday is the time when you receive not only presents but also blessings and sensation. Actually, it is the first time for me to live away from home for such a long time and learn how to rely on myself. It is also my first time to have birthday in another country. However, I do not feel lonely because of the love from the people around me.
On the day before my birthday, I happened to find a letter from my mother when checking my emails. Since I forgot that it was my birthday tomorrow, I went through the letter with curiosity. In the letter, my mother told me to be happy everyday and look after myself. My father and she would bless me though they were not beside me. As I read the letter, tears gathered in my eyes. I reflected on the past things and felt sorry about the hurts I caused to them. But I told myself to cheer up because my parents were smiling at me all the time.
It was late night, my eyes could hardly open after the study time. Finishing a bath, I came back to my room, only to find a new SMS displayed on my handphone. “Hey, happy birthday to you! I hope it is the first blessing that you receive on your nineteenth birthday. Keep smiling!” I was touched that she could stand up till midnight to wish me a happy birthday. Then during the following day, I continued to be moved by the lovely guys aroud me. That night, we friends from the same university got together to celebrate my birthday. During the party, we talked, laughed and toasted to each other. Our singing rang through the room and we really had a terrific time.
When we reached Eton Hall, it was nearly 11:00. Having been worn up, I ploped into my bed. To my surprise, my head bumped into a hard thing. Oh, it was a box of chocolates! There were two notes attached to it. The notes were full of familiar words which reminded me of the wonderful time we had together. My eyes were fixed on the notes for a long time and I could not pull myself out the gratitude to them, my friends.
Since it is the first time I have my birthday far away from home, I can feel the love from people around me much more. Thank you for all your love, it is because of you that I can live a more meaningful life.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, young man!i am really glad that you've received so much love from your friends and fammilies. But you could have informed us your birthday, then we could celebrated it together.Keep strive for your future!
ReplyDeleteNo matter where we are, the people who love us will always pray for us. I think the best thing we can do to thank them is to stay happy everyday, and don't let them worry about us. Your words remind me of the moments we celebrated the birthdays of the students of my home university. We sang "Happy bithday" to them when it was the peak time for us to have dinner, so that more people could share the cheer with us. At last, hope that each of your birthday will be a happy one full of surprise.
