A tear slid down my cheek as my comforter that was pressed up to my chin started getting stained with black from my mascara. Today's my birthday, and my boyfriend of 3 years, Brendan Gallagher, was away at a game in New York. It wasn't like he was in Canada, he was in a whole different country. I was laying on my phone when I saw Brendan had tagged me in a photo. It was a collage of us, with probably 20 pictures of us. There was a huge paragraph as a caption.
bgally17: happy birthday to girl who keeps me sane, the love of my life, and most importantly, my best friend. thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on, and my hand to hold (both metaphorically and literally.) thank you for being my right hand, my go to, and my everything good in this world. everyday I am with you is a privilege. you are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid my eyes on, have the kindest heart of anyone I know, and make me happier then chucky ever could. thank you for letting me into your life. thank you for loving hockey so much, because if you didn't you would have never been a season ticket holder for the habs and we never would have met. you are always there for me and you are my biggest supporter. thank you for being my best friend and my everything. I love you so much princess. happy birthday love🎉❤️❤️ I'll be home sooner then you think :)
What does that mean? He's not surprising me, he can't. Right? No he can't. He has a game. I pressed commented and starter typing.
"thank you so much baby. that was truly the sweetest thing I've ever read. I love and miss you so much💕"
I pressed send and started responding to some birthday texts.

After I responded to a few more, I decided I was gonna turn on some Grey's Anatomy. It's the one Netflix show that Brendan doesn't like to watch with me, so that's usually how I spend my time while Brendan is on road trips- cuddling with our dog, Francis, and watching Grey's Anatomy. Just as I had got on my 3rd episode of Grey's, there was a knock on the door. I paused my episode and walked downstairs to open the door. As the door opened, my mouth spread into a huge smile. My truly favorite person in the whole damn world was standing right in front of me. I jumped into his arms, legs wrapped around his torso. Tears fell onto his shirt, but he didn't seem to care. "I missed you so much." I whispered to him. "Happy birthday sweetheart." he told me. "I love you so damn much." I told him. "God, I'm so in love with you." Best birthday present ever.
sorry it's kinda short :(
