My husband recently found himself alone on his birthday in
Thailand, where he was attending a seminar. I decided to surprise him by
emailing a request to Holiday Inn Bangkok, where he was staying. The request
was simple: for them to print out the attached birthday greeting that my
daughter and I had made for him and to give it to him when he came down to
avail of the breakfast buffet.
Given the simplicity of my request, I actually expected
their positive response but was still pleased when I got it. What happened next was unexpected. Since he
had so many assignments, hubby didn’t go down for the breakfast buffet but went
straight to the seminar room, also located inside the hotel, to start working.
