Last night I got invited to a suprise party to celebrate a friend’s birthday. There were total of 10 people at the table who most of them knew the birthday girl for close to 10 years time already. I am the only odd duck who have only known her for few months. The group is very cool, and I am happy that they invited me, but I know I am just accompany someone.
The birthday girl was suprised by our present at the restaurant, and when we were so proud that we did such good job of making a success of this suprise party. The birthday girl topped us by telling us her acceptance of her boyfriend’s proposal yesterday. I was touched when she made a speech thanking her close friends who were there for her, and how much she treasures and feels blessed for the friendship she has now. This suprise party was truly a good party had two things to celebrate for the same person.
After she made her birthday wish, we all asked if this year is any difference than other years. She said after many years for hoping finding the right person is finally here and it is real. This year she could make a new wish. I could see there were few girls there having the look in the face saying “I understand, and I long for the same.” Maybe that was me saying that, and just thought others were thinking the same as I did at the time. Finding the right person is truly a blessing. I don’t feel that I have that luck, and by not wanting to get disappointed again. I basically told myself to give up that thought, and told myself to marry my career.
The birthday girl found her special someone in her late 30s. I have always thought those two should get married, and I am happy to be there that night to celebrate with their good news. I look forward to their wedding and see them tie the knot.
