---That’s Odd
/"Happy birthday, sweetheart!/"
I opened my eyes to find my parents standing at the foot of my bed with my birthday cake.
/"Oh, you guys!/" I cried, stretching out my arms. /"I love you./"
My mom set down the cake on my vanity table and hugged me. /"I love you, too, baby./" My dad embraced us both. /"I love you guys./"
I am my parents’ only child, and they raised me with love and affection.
My mom kissed my forehead. /"Nana Gloria sends her love, sweetie./"
I smiled at the mention of my sweet, but feisty grandmother.
Mom picked up my cake again, lit up the candles, and brought it back to my bed. /"Here you go, Adassah! Make a wish./"
