One of the happiest events of my life was my 5th birthday. I still remember that day very clearly because it feels like the moment when my real memories began. We celebrated at home but my parents made it very special. They cooked my favorite food and decorated the house beautifully. My sister even made special candle wrappers with my picture on them. World War, birthday hats, blue party horns, and a thank-you birthday song for me. My family gave me such full presents, and I received everything I had wished for. My mom and I also organized a small quiz for our guests, and they won different medals. At the end of the day, we released a lantern into the sky and made a wish. This birthday was special not only because my family tried so hard to make it fun and unforgettable, but also because it was the last birthday I spent with my grandmother. She was very ill but she still wanted to celebrate with me. She sat next to me at the table and we enjoyed that moment together.
