My First Birthday Cake

When I was 19 in the year 1978 my husband bought me my first birthday cake ever.My babies were there and my mother-n-law and all her kids.The cake was white frosting and 19 pink roses they added 19 candles. When they sang Happy birthday and the candles were lite my husband said"oh my thats a big fire"and begin to laugh so hard he lost his breath but soon was ok.At that moment I began to cry and then my husband said"hey why the tears". I said"this is my first birthday cake ever" the love I felt that day I'll never forget.He's bought me a birthday cake every year since then.Thats why this is my happiest day of my life.
