Heartbreak Anniversary
This is my grandmother's first anniversary without my grandfather. Write in any style about love, loss, and/or a lonely anniversary.

Sincerity

It's my birthday and as always I'm looking forward to it. The once yearly, single hour of my life where I am the center of my family. This year though it's different, this year will be a total surprise. Usually I tell them exactly what I want, because I want to make it easier for them. This year I never had the chance. I was ill and busy at the same time so I was to exhausted to even think about myself.

What I love the most about my birthday is getting what I want, within reason, without having to set foot in a store. This is the part that makes it special for me since I despise shopping. The big day arrives and for the first time since I was a small child there's a little bit of anticipation in my excitement. I wonder anxiously what did I get, will I like it? It's a long forgotten warm type of suspense. How well do they know me, how much do they love me, their thoughtfulness will be proven by their gifts for once.

Cash, they gave me cash.
