My number one wish/want/desire for my birthday (which happens to be today!) is no gifts. I prefer no one make a big deal either. One year my parents didn't send me a card or anything. It was soooo sweet! They finally listened and respected my desire(s). Then I found out they actually forgot. Which was bittersweet because that's sad to many but awesome because they made my birthday a non issue. Anyways, for my birthday... I want to celebrate my parents for giving me the greatest gift of all, life. I'm ordering flowers for them right now. Edit: changed "a catch 22" to "bittersweet" and "mother" to "parents".
