Today was my 17th birthday, and I was happier than I ever expected to be.
There is this nice young couple that lives next to us in the Hooverville. Sometimes they help us out if we are low on food, and we help them too.
This morning, they came to our door and told us that they knew it was my birthday, and that they had a surprise for me. From behind their back they pulled a chocolate cake! It was incredible eating chocolate for the first time in months, and the fact that my kind neighbors would spend their own money to make me something like that was incredible. I will never forget what they did.
