Celebrating a loved one’s birthday has been a family tradition. Growing up, my mom used to make our birthdays feel really special by getting a cake and having different types of short-eats and inviting family and friends. Even as I grow older my family makes it a special day for me. I am kept occupied and reminded many times during the day that it is my birthday. While I don't do any chores for the day, I am showered with handmade cards, notes and gifts. This is simply a time to count my blessings.
