Wish

My mother always says this phrase: real friends only when you are sick or in prison. Obiously this phrase does not have to mean exactly what it says. And I say this because my birthday was not celebrated long ago and, being honest, I did not think anyone, beside my family,will congratulate me, not because I do not have friends here in Puebla, but because I had not told anyone my date of birth but I took three very big surprises that day. The first one was to see the great importance of facebook, I mean, several people congratulated me because they saw it in face. In fact it was a great experience because it originated that a partner shout in front of the class it was my birthday or that some others surprised me with a gift. The second one was a call from my friends from Chiapas, induced by my friend Mariana, who can call me for free. At that moment I felt a rare mixing of feelings because they all together sang me "Las mañanitas" and "happy birthday", plus endless congratulations. The third and most impressive was the visit from my dad. He travelled 10 hours in order to see me and congratulate me. I spent the afternoon with him, we went to lunch, he bought me a gift and we said good bye at 8 pm because at that time had to come back.
It is true, that day was great, but I felt sad for a reason. A person, a great friend of mine because I was always at her side, and I still doing it, when she has problems and a lot of reasons more, forgot me that day, and we made a promise that no matter how far, we will not forget each other, but, as my mom says, never do something expecting a reward.
