the day after, 9.13.23

i was eating lunch then i saw dr. waghwani. he asked where i was yesterday, and i told him it was bagel’s birthday. he said he remembered i took off last year for bagel’s birthday, too. then i thought about it, and i have never missed bagel’s birthday. it sent my mind on a mental trip down memory lane. we’ve always spent his birthday together, doing something, then eating something special. we graduated from mcdonald’s, to chick-fil-a, to restaurant burgers, to expensive steaks.

september 12th is not only one of the most important days in my life, but one of the best days every year.
