The next morning something interrupts my rest, it's the song of "Happy birthday" but of course I had forgotten it today is my birthday, when I open my eyes my parents and my sister have gifts for me, in addition my room is decorated in balloons.

They are so cute, there can be no better surprise than this, that when you wake up your family is the first to congratulate you and remember a special day because not even me remember how distracted I have been these last days but it has undoubtedly been worth it.

—Happy birthday Sarah!—they all say at the same time

My dad hugs me and hands me a box wrapped in a purple bow. I wonder what it could be.  It's something big, I open it and find a beautiful blue dress.

—Thanks dad, it's so beautiful—I say as I open it. 

Then my mom gives me another box with a red ribbon. Next I open the box and I found my favorite chocolates, can't wait to eat this box. 

—Thanks mom, they're my favorites—I tell her as I hug her

Finally Sabrina gives me another box with an orange ribbon. When I open it there is a letter and makeup, it's just the color I wanted so much.

—Thank you very much Sabrina, how did you know this was the color of lipstick?—I say that while she hugs me

I love surprises and more on my birthday but I'm dying to know how everything will be.

Later my family takes me to a very nice restaurant and when I arrive I'm surprised that my friends are there including Chris and Zoey's family. The decorations are balloons that have the number "18"

—Happy birthday friend—Zoey says happily as she hugs me and gives me a small box with a letter.  I open it and it's a bracelet that has our initials "S&Z" on it.

—It's so cute, thanks Zoey—I say joyfully

After that Chris comes and kisses me at the same time he gives me a box and a letter. When I open it there are chocolates and a necklace that has my initial "S" on it, I love it.

—Thanks Chris, it's beautiful—I said as he smiled, took the necklace and helped me put it on.

Maybe it will be crazy but I have both beautiful necklaces, my best friend's and Chris's.

Then Carolina gives me another gift, although she didn't have to bother to give me something, I open it and get two "Dior" perfumes, I love them! I never would have expected it.

—Thank you very much Carolina, you wouldn't have bothered.

—Don't worry, I wanted to do it—she says while she hugs me.

Some time later, the others wished me a happy birthday, we talked among ourselves, we ate and finally the cake that was made of chocolate, it was worth it, mentioning that it's my favorite.

When we leave my dad takes me to the parking lot and shows me a burgundy car.

—You like it?—he asks

—Yes, it's beautiful

—Now it's yours—he says as he gives me the keys.

—Really?—my dad nods before I hug him. This is the best that someone has given me before I don't ask for anything else—, Thanks Dad—I smile full of happiness

—You're welcome, daughter. Now it will be easier for you to go where you want

—Yes, although I don't know if I'll drive very well—I say laughing

—You'll do fine, relax—he says also laughing

At the end of the celebration, I arrived at my house after living an incredible day.

I put on my pajamas at the same time that I go to bed and decide to read the letters I received today.

First I read my sister's.

"Happy birthday Sarah, I love you so much and happy 18th, enjoy your day.

PS: Just for today I won't bother you"

~ Sabrina ~

I laugh when I read this letter, how considerate she is! In spite of everything I love my sister, although sometimes she's unbearable and bothers me all the time is rarely cute and I can spend beautiful moments with her. 

Then I read the letter from my best friend.

"Happy birthday friend, I love you so much, we have known each other for a long time, I remember that when I met you I thought "She's crazy!"  But then I got to know you better and I thought about it more. "Yes, she's definitely crazy!"

But if so, we are two crazy, best friends.

I just want to say thank you very much for these long years of friendship. I love you very much.

~ Zoey ~

PS: Don't get emotional"

Of course you can't have Zoey in an emotional moment because she already ruins it.

Finally I opened the letter from my boyfriend.

"Happy Birthday beautiful!

Despite having little time to meet, you're a very special person to me. In you I find everything I need, your smile, your eyes, hair, you just drive me crazy, you're the person who always understands me. Know that I'll always be there for whatever you need, I will never leave you or turn my back on you.

Thanks for all these moments that we have lived together. I love you so much"

 ~ Chris ~

What he wrote is very nice.  Sometimes I wonder if he really feels all this for me or just does it to make a good impression but I just want to think that he loves me as much as he says.

Without a doubt this was one of those days that you want to repeat again, to feel the emotion, the joy, enjoy more... However, we only have to enjoy it to the fullest since those special moments will be unforgettable and unrepeatable.
