For this year, I planned on going to the Home for Aged to celebrate my birthday there with the elderly. There are about 10 of them. Lunch was what I had in mind. I'd bring with me food that surely they've longed to eat. I already set aside some money for it. Of course, Pat will be with me. I also thought I'd pass the dinner at my parents' house this time. Instead, I'd let them join me have lunch at the Home for the Aged. That was my plan. :-)
But on June 23, 2012, my father had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital. The money I have set aside for my birthday was spent for my father's recovery.
On a lighter note, I had a first for my birthday this year.
Pat and I had breakfast at Jollibee! hehehe... It was my very first birthday that I ate out for breakfast.
So, why did we eat out?
It was not really a planned romantic eat out. We just woke up late and I have no time to cook for breakfast. Hehehe.... Pat is going to the office and I will be going to Maria Cristina Hotel to attend the last day of a 3-day workshop. :-)
And it's a good thing I remembered to take a photo of us just before we left Jollibee. I was able to have a souvenir of my very first birthday breakfast. :-)
Then at past 5pm Pat and I met at Gaisano Mall to buy some stuff for my father and then went to 9r's to buy our dinner. We spent our dinner with my family in Bayug so I could visit and check on my father's progress. I didn't get any gifts on my birthday but what God gave me was the best gift I could have ever wanted on that day. On my birthday, my father was already able to walk a few steps, 13 days after he had a stroke. And last Saturday, July 14, he was already walking normally. No more wheelchair moments. Hehehe... Thank you so much Lord. :-)
My plan on treating the elderly at the Home for the Aged still holds. I will start saving from my salary next month so I could have that birthday lunch at the Home for the Aged in September. :-D
Belated happy birthday mam binx! ;)
