By events, two years ago I was with my wife in the hospital on my birthday. Complications with our child, and we had to stall his arrival. A little too eager to join the world.
My wife had fallen asleep, and I was walking around moping because it was my 30th birthday, and in the moment, everyone had brushed that to the side because of the events. Selfish as it was, I was let down. So, i'm walking around the hospital, and decided to go over and see the nursery. I look at all of these brand new little faces that had just arrived today. On my birthday. Boys and girls, kicking and crying, smiling and sleeping... All coming into the world the same day as me.
To this day, I still think that was the best birthday present I have ever gotten.
