JANUARY 29TH 2016

"Happy Birthday!" My Mam sang, entering with a massive box wrapped in gold and silver paper, and a pile of birthday cards.

"Oh my God," I laughed, sitting up so she could place them on my lap.

I started by unsealing the envelopes, in which I got a lot of money.

"There's more presents downstairs, but I think you should open this one first," She smiled uneasily.

I frowned, as I tore through the wrapping paper which revealed a box.

I opened the box, and inside were a pair of Khaki leggings, and black timberlands.

"Oh my God, who got me this?" I glanced at my Mam, and she pointed at the label which read:

To my beautiful daughter. I hope you like your presents, happy birthday. Love, Dad xxxx

My eyes teared up at the thought of him not being able to come home from the war on my birthday, and I gave my Mam a hug.

The thud of boots were made along my floor, making me turn my head to see who entered.

"Dad?!" I exclaimed.
