Antun’s Wish was to attend his daughters 21st Birthday Party
A heartfelt Wish; Antun wanted to be there for his daughters 21st birthday party. A night that turned out to be filled with unforgettable moments and loving emotions.
The night drew a substantial crowd of over 50 people, turning up not only for his daughter’s milestone but to share a beer and a laugh with Antun. There were friends that had been with him since childhood and involved in magical milestones like weddings and birthdays.
Antun’s mother was also in attendance and shared beautiful stories of Antun’s childhood and the connection between the lifelong friends. A reminder of how friendships can become deeply significant to one another.
As the night drew to a close, it wasn’t long before speeches started to appear. Antuns, in particular, was emotional. He equally had the whole room in tears and then just quickly had them in fits of laughter. You could tell how proud he was of the woman his daughter had become.
The time came for Anton to leave, and, as he was wheeled to the elevator, you could not wipe the smile of his face. ‘This was the best party ever!’
