So birthdays are suppose to be a happy day and Aaron normally takes full advantage of his. He gets out of doing everything by saying ' it's my birthday'.

This year was different he said it a few times but definitely not the usually 50 million times. For him it was a sad day because the person who gave birth to him passed away this past February. Cindy would go out of her way to make whatever food dish he wanted and she would put up decoration s and balloons to make it his special day.

He tried real hard to make it a good day but I could tell in his eyes that it was a day he wanted to be over.

It's hard to imagine not having my mom here for my birthday and I can't say I'd be any different of I was in the same position.

It's still sad because I know that they only person who could have made his day better can't be here for him.
