Last Saturday was my mum''s fortieth birthday. My dad decided to organise a surprise party.
Planning it was exciting and difficult. We had to keep it a complete secret from my mum. Every time she came into a room, we stopped talking. She thought we were being very strange.
My dad invited twenty friends and relatives. He asked them all to arrive at our house at seven o''clock. My job was to take my mum out for a walk after dinner and bring her back at exactly half past seven.
The walk was cold. My mum asked why we were going out so late. I said I wanted to show her the stars. She believed me.
When we came back and opened the front door, everyone shouted surprise. My mum''s face was extraordinary. She looked confused, then shocked, then she started to cry happy tears.
It was one of the best evenings our family has ever had.
