Today Michael turned 16. We invited Jayne and Keith over for dinner to celebrate this milestone. I baked a cake to Michaels liking and came up with a menu plan. I cleaned up the main floor and decorated with balloons, a sign, some streamers, and we used a table cloth. Michael wanted hot wings, taco dip from the Pig and the rest of us had pork chops, salad, broccoli, and garlic bread, followed by cake and ice cream. We got Michael some gift certificates for local businesses and Jade and Alex gave him a ton of Sun Drop. My brother sent him the GI Joe video which I am looking forward to watching. My grandma and mom sent him some money so did Kato's grandparents. He got some cupcakes and brownies made for him from some girls at school and I am not sure what his buddies did for him. Jade and Alex really liked helping him open his gifts and cards. His birthday is the same day every year November 5th. Its been this way since he was born. Every year he has lived with me he has had a birthday party or some sort of get together with friends and we buy them food. This year he wants pizza. Its funny that even though his birthday comes on the same day every year, its been this way all his life, his dad can't even get enough of his shit together to send him a card and have it be here on time for his birthday. It doesn't have to have anything in it just a note saying happy birthday and i love you. I don't get it. Its not like the date changed or was erased from the calendar. There is always some excuse. It really sucks cause no matter how much crap his dad throws at him Michael still takes it. I hope that everything we do for Michael can help make up for some of it. thanks for reading xoxo
