Fourteen Years of Birthdays

“Happy Birthday!” 

“It’s your birthday?”

“It’s the birthday girl!”

These words and more followed me around today, as I walked the hallow halls of middle school. I smile, wave, give thanks, and give hugs. I get cards, a decorated locker, and a lot of sticky notes spelling out “Happy Birthday Kiley!” It’s a great, festive, fun day. I have the best friends in the world, and today they amazed me with their excitement and kindness. I love them all so much- although not enough to give them any of the cake I had for lunch. 🙂

It’s been a full, fun, amazing year. I can’t wait to start the next one. I turn fourteen soon. I will be blowing out candles and having songs sung to me and so much more. Because today is my birthday. 

I better make a wish.
