That day was awesome.It was Grandpa's 70th birthday.The whole family had been preparing for it for quite some time.
①Early in the morning, I woke up excited.First I got dressed quickly.Then I headed downstairs to help.Mum was already in the kitchen preparing Grandpa's special birthday lunch.Dad was nowhere to be seen.②After a quick breakfast, I checked the special gift I had made for Grandpa, a video of his life story — for the last time.③For weeks I had been working on this, listening to Grandpa's stories, selecting his favourite music and collecting photos from the family album.
Just before lunchtime, Dad came in with some guests.Surprisingly, they were Grandpa's best friends from secondary school, all in their seventies.Grandpa couldn't believe his eyes and it took quite a long time for them to calm down.As soon as the guests took their seats, Grandpa's favourite music began to fill the room with memories of the old days.With each old photo, the guests saw how Grandpa grew from a handsome boy to a kind old gentleman.The best part came when Grandpa and his friends appeared in an old photo in their school uniforms.There was a lot of laughter in the room, and quite a few tears in their eyes.
Towards the end of the party, Grandpa said excitedly, “It is a wonderful birthday celebration and I've got the best gift I have ever received.Now I am looking forward to my eightieth, ninetieth and even one hundredth birthdays already！”
