The past few years I have been giving myself a birthday gift, a week in my favorite city (Philadelphia) with my favorite travel buddy. This year, since my birthday is the day after Election Day, my gift will be the election of Hillary Clinton as president of the United States.

That's what happens when two people try to give each other all they've ever wanted...

It was made by someone dear to me. A lot of thought went into it.

Shortly before my birthday a friend asked if she could borrow my car because hers was in the shop.<br />When she returned it to me it had a brand new stereo system in it that my friends had all chipped in for.<br />I liked that one because it was so unexpected.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302478126147924237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-61983836140016768432016-08-27T06:54:24.546-04:002016-08-27T06:54:24.546-04:00don't think I have ever been given a "mem...don't think I have ever been given a "memorable birthday gift".anne marie in phillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11765140782182605141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-59981264546478091592016-08-27T00:32:37.641-04:002016-08-27T00:32:37.641-04:00My most memorable birthday gift was an unexpected ...My most memorable birthday gift was an unexpected one, and the gift giver did not even know it was my birthday.<br /><br />I was involved in a long distance relationship. Out of the blue I received a long distance phone call, on my birthday, from a young lady who informed me that not only was she also in a relationship with the same fella, but she was pregnant by him. I felt no animosity toward her because she was young and now in trouble being that she was pregnant. He didn't stay with her and I believe she had and raised the baby all by herself.<br /><br />The unexpected phone call was exactly what I needed to re-evaluate things, not only with that immediately-ended relationship, but about life in general.<br /><br />Betcha you weren't expecting that kind of response - haha! But that phone call was definitely the best birthday gift I ever received.<br /><br />~ FAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
