So usually birthdays are meant to be fun and happy and that is what I thought my birthday meant until my 10th birthday.

I rushed down the stairs and I was ready for a great day, nothing was going to stop me from the time of my life.
"Estella please sit down," Mother politely requested as she got my present from behind her back.It was a box wrapped in decorative cloth and finished with a small red ribbon tied into a bow.
"Here is your gift for your birthday,we have a surprise..."

Mother took me outside and showed my the lake in the distance.
"Darling,open your present,"
They were a pair of boots,fit for skating on the ice with finesse and grace.
"Wow,these are beautiful!"I said as I rushed off to the lake to skate around.
For Jacks last birthday we got him boots for skating but he is a July born child so he waited till December to use his.
