My cousin is turning forty next year, while I, in a few more years. However, the two of us wanted to share ideas on how to celebrate our fortieth, when it comes. Then I realized, no matter how much 40th birthday ideas I pour out, it will not be as exciting as how I have imagined being fifty will be. Hahaha-- That is quite a number there! When my father turned fifty, we had lots of 50th birthday gift ideas, but only managed to successfully take on a few. Sure my father was happy at that time, but somehow we knew that what we gave could have been better.
When my aunt turned fifty, we had a better idea and a better execution of plans. We hit it at the target and my aunt was crying and laughing at the same time. I guess reactions are quite different with men than women. Women get the flair, fabulous and the emotional way of reacting. While men simply smile or tell you what's on his mind about the surprise.
But, at the end of the day, the well wishers will know that the celebrant appreciates all endeavors. As for me, I have only one wish for my fortieth. By then, my daughter will be eleven, and she will finish Grade 6, or the elementary level. I will not write my wish here for fear that it will not come true. But I have always wished it in my heart.. Clue: it's all about Lili and her education. Anyway, it's still a long way to go.. More years to pray and prepare... You'll know because I will post about it here.
