October 13 is the momentous day for my wife and me that we blew our own cake together. For us it's not the birthday that really counts so much for it's but natural for everyone to remember his birthday, to celebrate it or not. Whether he likes it or not, his birthday is there. What my wife and I learned since we're already old and we're not used to celebrate our birthday when we're kids because we're poor is the concerted efforts our children to us happy and to value our important role as their parents who reared them up of what they're now. They had surprised us and they brought us to a place where we haven't known and of course have never been there. They had perfected planned it out on what to do from the foods to prepare to the conducive place to celebrate it and to the wonderful program which had made us laughed, entertained and enjoyed to its fullest. And most of all to let their mother and father blow together their own respective birthday cakes. My wife and I are so thankful and appreciative for this invaluable efforts made by our children to give identity and make us real that we're their parents who take care of them from their childhood to their adulthood. Thanks to our thoughtful children, grandchildren and in-laws, you made us happy together.

You said it right. That's the legacy we give them to be responsive and responsible for any undertakings they may have had.
