My 60th birthday - part 2

The day of 25th of February came and went quietly and swiftly. That was the one marking the birthday of mine and my wife's.

Prior to its arrival, Chenny asked us whether if we would like to have a lunch as our 60th birthday celebration in the restaurant or at home. I knew he cared about making a good one for us, I was very pleased to feel his caring thoughts. I said "I prefer to have a simple one at home rather than a big one at a restaurant." "just buy a pack of chips, one stir-fried Rice, one sweet-sour pork from the take-away", added mom.

Young people tend to look birthday party as a very important event. They celebrate their birthdays for each other, so if one has a group of close friends more than 12 then he will be very likely to be invited to a birthday party almost every month through out a year, and they take it as a must-attend occassion. So I appreciate how Chenny felt and cared about our birthday celebration, particularly this 60th one.

As was discussed by us, Chenny called the take-away shop and placed the order. At 6:45 pm that evening, Chenny set out the three dishes on the table plus four glasses of beer.

Jean and I were so happy. Birthday song was sung; wishes were made; photos were shot; the party foods were entirely consumed, and finally had our profound 60th birthday party completed.

I am aware of the truth that I belong to the 60 age group from now on.
