Happy birthday, dear Zoe! It is still my birthday. Even if no one knows, it is still mine. Where is that girl? I have not seen Emma for 20 minutes. Sarah, I cannot find Emma. Where is she? Oh, she was just here. She is probably upstairs. She is fine. Sarah, what day is today? Oh, oh no! Oh, no, no, no, no! It is also Emma's birthday! I forgot. I actually forgot my own daughter's birthday. Sarah, she is upstairs right now. Go to your daughter. Everything else can wait. I did. I forgot. I am so sorry, Emma. I am so, so sorry, my love. I waited all morning, Mom. I thought you were going to surprise me. I kept waiting. You should have had a surprise. You deserved it. I failed you today, baby. I am so sorry. I am not angry at Zoe. Zoe did not know. It is not Zoe's fault. I know, my love. This is only my fault. Only mine. I found this at the corner shop. Chocolate. She told me once she likes chocolate. Blue candles. She always picks blue. I noticed that. One, two, three, four, five, six. Nine candles. One for each year. She is nine years old today and I almost missed it. Daddy, is that cake for Emma? Is today also Emma's birthday? Yes, sweetheart. Today is also Emma's birthday. We forgot and we are going to make it right. Then I want to give Emma my crown because she waited all day and she never said anything mean. She is a very good sister. That is so sweet, Zoe. Emma will love it. Zoe, that is the kindest thing I have ever seen anyone do. I am so proud of you, sweetheart. Nine blue candles for nine years. Let us go. Are you ready? Ma, we have something for you, sweetheart. Go on. Open the door. Happy birthday, dear Ma. Happy birthday to you. Emma, this crown is for you because you waited the whole day and you sang at my cake and you never said anything mean. You are the best sister. You are my best sister in the whole world. I am your only sister. Time for the birthday wish. Go on. Make a wish, Zoe. You are my best best sister in the whole world. I am your only sister. That is exactly why you are the best one. Okay, birthday girl. Nine blue candles. They are not going to wait forever. Come and make your wish.
