I had always been a firm believer in celebrating my birthday month to the fullest. After all, we never truly know how much time we have left on this lively planet. This belief was only strengthened after I survived not one, but two ruptured brain aneurysms. And even now, I still have another aneurysm that needs to be monitored. Every birthday felt like a miracle and I wanted to make sure I celebrated it in the best way possible.
So when my 51st birthday rolled around, I knew I wanted to do something special. My husband and I had planned a trip to London, and while I'm not usually one for tourist traps, we both shared a love for music and couldn't resist visiting the first ever Hard Rock Cafe in London. Our trip had started off a bit difficult, with us getting lost and spending a lot of time trying to find our way around. We needed something to lift our spirits and have some fun.
Today, As soon as we walked into the Hard Rock Cafe, we were hit with a good vibe. The walls were adorned with memorabilia from some of the greatest musicians in history, and we couldn't help but feel nostalgic for the days of hard rock and heavy metal. We were told there would be a wait for a table, but the staff kindly directed us to a tourist shop across the street to pass the time. It turned out to be a blast, with us finding souvenirs and taking silly photos.
But the surprises didn't end there. We were then invited to go downstairs and check out the museum, which was filled with even more incredible memorabilia. It was like a dream come true for music lovers like us. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be celebrating my birthday in such an amazing place, surrounded by great music and even greater people.
When we finally got our table, we were not disappointed. The food was amazing, but it was the atmosphere that truly made it special. The staff were incredibly friendly and showed a genuine interest in our story. When they found out it was my birthday, they went above and beyond to make it a memorable one. They had the entire restaurant sing happy birthday to me, and I couldn't stop smiling.
As I blew out the candles on my birthday sundae I couldn't help but feel grateful for this experience. It was a reminder to always celebrate life and make the most of every moment. And I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off my birthday month. It truly was a birthday I would never forget.
