One thing I secretly love (now not so secretly) about Facebook is that so many people come out of the woodworks to wish you a Happy Birthday: people you met in a bar 4 years ago, your friends’ parents, old co-workers that you never see anymore, second cousins, etc. I love it. Thanks to everyone who sent their warm wishes.
This year’s birthdee proved to be one of the best ever. After an amazing brunch complete with bacon, German pancakes, Jared’s amazing breakfast sandwich secret ingredient (maple syrup), homemade bloody mary mix, a birthday banner station, tons of treasures, mimosa explosions, and a spanking machine, we went to quiet dinner with our roommate Chris.
While at dinner, Taylor arranged for a group of my friends to arrive with streamers, balloons, pots and pans, and kazoos and surprise me with my very own Winnie the Pooh parade. It was one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. Thank you to my wonderful friends, Taylor, and everyone who showed up to brunch for making my birthday so amazing. You each make my life so meaningful and I love you all so much.
I wanted to document what was perhaps the cutest moment of the day. My friends, Royal and Danielle, have the most adorable son, Issac, and this was one of our adorable interactions:
Isaac: “Hey Jason, do you have a mommy?”
Me: “Yes, but she died a little while a go.”
Isaac: “Why?”
Me: “Well, she got kind of sick and wasn’t feeling very good.”
Isaac: “Oh…”
I start to walk away to check on the bacon.
Isaac: “Hey, Jason! What was your mommy’s name?”
Me: “Aww.. It was Sharon.”
Isaac leaves with his parents and they drive home.
Isaac says to Danielle: “I’m sad Jason’s mommy died, because I wanted to see how pretty she is.”
Isn’t that so cute? Gosh, I love that little stinker!
Here’s Isaac modeling his Bea-Day shirt.
