~ Trunks, what do you usually prepare for your dearly beloved wife's birthday? Do you change it up each year, or do you have a sort of small tradition? Do the kids participate in some part of the celebration?
T: Over time, she had made me realize how important it is to celebrate the little things (such as birthdays) to hold on to the very last things we still had. It wasn’t such a big deal to me prior to knowing her. It was just another day to survive. But, I could see how it meant to her. I would notice her keep track of the dates in a little calendar book and cross check to the satellite tracking on rare occasion of power usage. During our second year together, I found this little card. Probably one of the only ones that had not been disintegrated in various ki attacks and was specifically birthday related. So, when I noticed it, I grabbed it while out scavenging. I left it for her when I was certain the eve of her birthday had arrived and I can still remember the smile on her face when she greeted me the next morning. Going in to the next year, I didn’t have much luck finding another card, so I ‘borrowed’ the one I had already given and once again presented it to her in the same fashion. Since then, it has remained an occurring tradition. Even years later when there are more birthday cards than you can imagine, I still present that same silly card I gave her that very first time. It’s torn in places and fading from the years, but each year brings forth that same smile I saw all those years ago and it’s one of the first moments I realized how much she meant to me. Aside from the silly card, the children and I will prepare her favorite breakfast in bed after letting her sleep late into the morning hours. And then it’s usually quite quiet with us spending it as a family. She prefers it simple ♥
