My first birthday

I've never had a birthday in my life. Maybe it's because the old days were so hard that parents were too busy making ends meet to think about their children's birthdays? Perhaps he has been used to this kind of ordinary life for many years? Even though my kids clamor every year about how to celebrate their birthday, I never thought about celebrating my own. Perhaps in my shallow consciousness it was as good as nothing, so I didn't celebrate my birthday until I turned 40.

The idea of school unions celebrating teachers' birthdays was first proposed three years ago, but never implemented. Somehow, it came up again at the end of last year, and after the school committee studied it, it was finally adopted. Just after the New Year, the union learned about teachers' birthdays. As it happens, I was born on March 2nd, which means I was the first person in school to celebrate his birthday this year. It's coming up. It's next Wednesday. This Friday after work, my wife and I walked around the mall looking for drinks to serve thanks to the kindness of our comrades at school. The wine has been chosen and the hotel has been booked for the reception, just waiting for the arrival of next Wednesday. I wanted to celebrate my birthday in a noisy way as a way to thank my colleagues for their care and love over the years, but instead, something unexpected happened on Saturday morning -- my mother fell down and was in unbearable pain. She couldn't stand up! Without hesitation, I quickly dialed 120 emergency, the mother sent to the hospital for treatment.

It was diagnosed that the mother had suffered a burst vertebra fracture and spondylolisthesis as a result of her fall and had to undergo surgery to recover. The diagnosis almost hit me like a thunderbolt on a clear day. "How can it be so serious?" "I asked the doctor, puzzled.

The doctor answered calmly, "Elderly people are prone to osteoporosis and fractures after a fall. Plus often participate in physical labor, a long time will cause the dislocation between the vertebrae, which is what we call vertebral spondylolisthesis. If the spondylolisthesis is left untreated, it can put pressure on the nerves and paralyze the lower body."

"Quick don't say, more say a person more worry, say how to treat?"

"The best thing that can be done right now is surgery to reinforce the damage and correct the displacement and deformation."

"Are there any risks?"

"Every kind of surgery has its risks, depending on the patient's health. Your family will have to make a decision as soon as possible. If we do, we have to be prepared."

I can't decide for a moment whether to do it or not. Besides, my sister and brother, I have to ask their permission. If you want to do, the mother is so old, there must be risks; No. Will she ever recover? How could this happen just after the end of the year? Mother has always been healthy. Is it my birthday? But I was born not to believe in this evil! Couldn't live past your birthday? Since I do not believe those myths, I will have this birthday; But my mood now already low to pole, where have what good mood birthday? Birthday is a happy picture, Geely, where is my happiness? If I spend my birthday with everyone in this mood, I'm afraid it will spoil everyone's fun... My brain felt bigger than five liters, after turning it over and over.

I had no class in the first class on Monday morning, and the principal was there, so I wanted to explain my situation to the leader. Seeing me enter his office, the principal stopped his work and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wu, what's up?"

"Well, kind of. I wonder if the school is celebrating teachers' birthdays this year?"

"The idea... But I want your opinion."

"Give it to someone else, and I won't have to think about it."

"Why is that? Since have, all want to have, why not give you?" The principal looked puzzled. "Is something wrong?"

"Well..." "I said, tears almost fell down," ORIGINALLY I also want to take advantage of the school to give me a birthday, thank you for everyone, their own happy, unexpectedly, I have an accident at home, mother accidentally hurt, I now have no good mood, this birthday I but.

"I don't think your mother's doctor will be affected by your birthday. It's quite normal that people get hurt easily when they get old. Don't think about it too much."

"That being said, I'm not in the birthday mood..."

I went to work on Mondays and Tuesdays as usual, and went to the hospital every afternoon to take care of my mother. The hustle and bustle of the day and night made me extremely tired, and I had long since forgotten about my birthday. On Wednesday morning, when I turned on the computer and boarded QQ to check the latest work arrangement in the teacher group, a lot of information popped up in the QQ task bar. I opened little by little, almost all QQ friends sent birthday gifts and cards: New Year - birthday, lucky monkey birthday, birthday crown, lucky word cake, nut mousse, Flowers in March, afternoon sunshine, birthday noodles, beautiful flowers, HAPPY... Wow! It was really a warm and grand birthday party. It seems that this year I want to have: health and longevity, peace and joy, full of blessings, good luck, happiness for a long time, happy every day... Some of these QQ friends are old classmates, some are colleagues, some are relatives, some are literary friends, some are parents of students, and some are friends who have not seen each other for many years... Looking at a beautiful lovely gift, reading the words of a sincere and warm words, my numb heart suddenly stretched a lot, and then, those sad and sad also threw away most of the. Oh, love can warm another cold heart.

Throughout the whole day, I saw the smiling faces of my colleagues and students, heard their greetings and wishes, and received all kinds of gifts from them: water cups, pens, diaries, small cakes, red apples, a flower... These gifts don't matter, they all make me feel warm and kind, happy and happy! Although I didn't tell anyone the date of my birthday, maybe they knew it from my QQ profile, they still prepared birthday gifts, cards and wishes for me carefully, which proved their good love. I sincerely thank them, and those lovely children!

Soon after work, the daughter sent a message to say: "I wish dad happy birthday, happy every day!" My wife later called to wish me a happy birthday and admonish me, "This too shall pass. Things will get better." Yes, everything will pass, and now I also should smile to face the predicament in front of us! My heart for their own silent prayer: "happy birthday! Happy every day!"
