In fact, this October I was planning a double birthday bash for two of my best friends, **Yesha** which her birthday was on October 14th and **Jovainne** on November 1st. Since we were heading into a semester break,I decided to celebrate them both on October 15th. ----  ---- It was all set from the cake, decorations, and a foolproof itinerary. And, to avoid any attempts to turn the tables on me since my birthday is October 30th,I had emphatically told everyone that I don't want surprises for me and I don't want anything. So I expected nothing but the joy of watching my friends celebrate. ----  ---- But life, and my amazing classmates, had other plans. I was busy enjoying the success of the other birthday party.I had no idea what was coming ☺️ Suddenly, everything changed. They brought out a cake and this time,it was for me. My amazing and thoughtful classmates had done the impossible they completely surprised the person who always plans the surprises ☺️ I was totally caught off guard. ----  ---- And then came the first floral masterpiece. My first bouquet was presented to me by my best classmate and its a beautiful arrangement handcrafted with so much love and effort thanks to @crafthy for always making me beautiful diy bouquet ☺️🥰.It wasn't just the sight of the flowers but also the intention behind them that moved me to tears. ----    ---- I am so thankful to have such loving and thoughtful people around me.Many of them only have their allowances right now.Even with limited money but they chose to spend it and their time on me.This kind of unconditional love and generosity is worth more than any gift.Knowing that they would make that sacrifice just to see me happy was truly humbling and something I'll never forget. ☺️ ----  ---- Just when I thought my heart couldn't handle any more joy,the second wave of love arrived. My classmates still in full celebration mode suddenly launched into the traditional and heartfelt birthday song. And right in the middle of their beautiful and off-key serenade they gave me the big bouquet of flowers given by my husband. my very first **big bouquet** from him. ----  ---- The flowers were absolutely stunning and so colorful and big 🥰 They felt like a physical sign of his love. Holding that beautiful gift from my husband,I felt an almost perfect happiness.It instantly made my birthday feel vibrant and full of life. ----  ---- This surprise made by the two most important people in my adult life my supportive best classmates and my loving spouse was the perfect capstone to the first part of my day.It was a tangible and fragrant reminder that my life is rich not in wealth but in **relationships**. ----  ---- The celebrating didn't stop once I left school.I traded the lively atmosphere of the classroom for the quiet and comforting warmth of my own home.☺️ My birthday ended with a simple and lovely dinner with my family.We did not go to a fancy restaurant or cook anything complicated. Instead we just had the important things ant that is the happy chatter of my loved ones and some perfectly grilled fish with a warm and sincere birthday wishes shared at the table. It was a lovely change from all the excitement earlier.It was a calm and peaceful way to end an amazing day.It reminded me that the biggest happiness comes from simple moments that shared with the people who know you best and the simple dinner prepared by my husband including those easy wishes and just being with my family made my 32nd birthday more special than I ever expected. ----  ---- ## What a Year 32 Will Be Looking back my 3 decade and 2 birthday was a profound experience and a powerful testament to the beauty of giving,the shock of receiving and also the immense value of every single person in my life.It was a day of unexpected bouquets, loud songs, humble gestures and so much gratitude. you can plan all you want but the universe’s surprises and delivered by the people who love you most are always the best.🥰 If this is how 32 year begins,I can't wait to see all the incredible moments it has in memory bank. ---- ### Now it is your turn, When was the last time someone completely surprised you with a beautiful gesture?
