My Kid's Party

01/09/2024

A friend of mine recently had to pull off a last-minute party miracle.

Oh, to be a kid again.

To be at that tender age when birthdays were days to be excited about and not pesky and frequent reminders that we’re getting older.

To be young enough to see a birthday hanging on the far, far horizon crawling towards us ever so slowly…far too slowly.

And then finally, as it got so close you could feel wrapping paper in your hand and smell birthday cake in the air, that’s when the dreaming could really begin. Not just dreams about the presents. Or the cake. As good as those things were, your birthday was the one day of the year when it was all about YOU.
