My favorite birthday present was not a physical gift, but the time I spent with my friends and family celebrating it. It was 2019, a few days after my birthday (my birthday was a Wednesday that year so my Uncle had work and one of my cousins had public school) and I had one of my best friends over along with my cousins and my Mom’s siblings, my Aunt and Uncle. We played soccer in our once-corn field. I cannot remember who won, as it was over a year ago, but I had a great birthday. I had just got a soccer ball as a physical gift, but that wasn’t my favorite. My favorite gift was my 2019 birthday party.
