I had the time of my life...my son in Afghanistan told my husband to come in to wake me up with a cake with 50 candles on...he did, it was lovely.
I had 20 red roses from my hubby and little boy. My neighbours came with flowers and put up their big flag for me. We had brunch out in town and then I was surprised by being taken to a lovely restaurant and 5 of my dear friends were there. Greetings came in all day on facebook and I got the call from Afghan too. To top off a perfect day my husband even sang a serenade to me in front of my friends...he was quite sober and it sounded lovely. I was in tears...such a lovely, lovely day. I can't wait to do the same for our son when he gets back soon.
Thank you for letting me share this...you guys all know how much it means.
