I came home on Kiel's birthday and had brought no present. Bummer. I am not good a getting birthday remembrances to the recipient in a timely way. I managed to mumble Happy Birthday before my exhausted body hit the mattress and I zonked out. But today I will make up for my misdeeds. I sneak around with Drew and gather celebratory stuff. A gift card (he needs gas for the car), a cheesecake (his favorite), fixings for a steak dinner including fresh corn on the cob (which I can't eat, oh, well).
We are very underhanded about getting it all ready without him having any idea. And at the last minute, tah-dah! We sprang it on him. His face lighted up like a full moon. Though he is really a man, underneath is still the heart of a boy who takes great delight in having a party. He blew out his candles with great gusto. We even rented a movie he wanted to see, and took him out for a walk and conversation.
Hopefully he will remember the fellowship and forget the delay in delivery.
