Dear Journal,
I forgot that it was Ronan’s 14th birthday today!
Right after I wrote to you about the dream, and when I went back to sleep, I immediately shouted, “Today’s the day, today’s the day!”
I even put it on the calendar, “The Day!”
I pretty much forgot that he was going to have a little party, too. I had to wake everybody up.
“Sabrina, honey,” Mom said as she walked in like a zombie, “It’s 7 in the morning, what are you doing up?”
“Today’s the day, Mummy!”
“Yup! Today’s the day, Mummy! Uh…what day?”
“Are you having a laugh, it’s Ronan’s birthday! Did you forget?”
“Nope!”
“Good! Now, I’m going to give him a call and–”
The phone rang before I said anything else.
SabrinaSo…guess who’s birthday it is today!
SabrinaIt’s yours, silly, you’re 14!
SabrinaSo…whatcha doing on this special day of yours, this year?
RonanI’ve invited some of my friends over, it’s going to be a little party. Would you like to come, too?
SabrinaWell, of course, I’d love to come! What’s the time for it?
RonanIt starts at 8 or 9, so they’ll come around until…a quarter to 8. See you then!
I hung up and got ready! But the trouble was, I didn’t find him a gift! But then, I remembered the ring that I was “saving for last”!
I was going to give him the ring at the filming, because he was doing an awesome job on the movie, but ended up not doing so.
But today was DEFINITELY the right day to do so. We waited a little too long. But at least we came just in time for Ronan to blow out his candles. We sang a little sing- song and he blew out the candles.
The guests cheered!
“Happy birthday, Ronan!” I said as I kissed his cheek.
Claire took a photo of me and Ronan, and then all of the party guests! When the party was over, I came outside with Ronan.
“That was the best party ever!” he said, “I’m glad you liked it!”
I then pulled a little wrapped present out of my pocket.
“Here, this is for you!”
“What is it?” Ronan asked.
He tore it open.
“I ring? Oh, no! This is happening too fast! I can’t marry you, can I?”
I laughed, “No, silly, we’re just kids! I was actually supposed to give you the last gift at the filming…but I kind of forgot so now it’s a birthday gift. Do you like it?”
I saw tears in Ronan’s eyes; he hugged me dearly and tightly.
“I love you!” he said between sobs and gasps.
“And I love you too!” I replied.
That brings us to the end of this episode! See you!
All the best, Sabrina 😘.
