Every resident of every high rise entered the birthdays of their children into the parks and garden's birthday party system. Every family was then offered the best available date to have one of the long covered benches to picnic on. The community provided decorations, a sound system and often local residents took the opportunity to perform new songs and comedy routines for the kids. There was dancing and merry-making. It was a social gathering system for sure, but it gave everyone the opportunity to have safer celebrations outside. When available, they could even be booked for other special occasions. It was an improvement from leaving folks to either celebrate in crowded indoor conditions or forgo important celebrations with family and friends. We can socially distance, we can vaccinate, we can wear masks... but we also need provisions to celebrate as safely as possible, to ensure that joy is a priority too.

Any time that you are in my present moment, that is all the gift I could ever wish for, that's all the birthday party I will ever need.

The birthday party was family, friends and cake - simple, sweet and destined to take it's place in my album of good memories.

My favourite birthday party hasn't happened yet. It's you and me, naked all day. A warm bed, warmer hugs and all the things that lovers love.

Quiet moments when you come alive in my fantasy world, that's my birthday parties, because that is when I feel born.
