A small flame flickered as we all joyously sang happy birthday at the top of our lungs. The room erupted into cheers and applause as my great grandpa blew out the candles on his birthday cake. His face shone like the sun as he launched into a speech. “Thank you so much everyone,” he croaked “We are not promised tomorrow so I am extremely thrilled to be spending another day celebrating, in this wonderful world with you wonderful people” He smiled. It felt like we were all swimming in emotions as we pulled out white tissues and dabbed our eyes.
