Mr. Edward's Surprise 80th Birthday

The children of Mr. Miles Edward's, surprised their dad with a celebration befitting a king in honor of his 80th birthday.

The theme was "One Night With The King." The decor was very nice, I especially liked that the placemats was a copy of Mr. Edward's birth certificate. It was a nice touch to personalize the event.

The Birthday boy's arrivial was greeted by all standing, and to the music of Fred Hammond's "King Of Glory". Other songs included were"One Night" by After 7, and "If Only For One Night" by Luther Vandross. to compliment the evening.

Family and friends gave outstanding laudatory remarks, however, the highlight had to be the Dancers. Mr. Edwards was celebrated in dance by two outstanding performers. One young lady danced to "Bless Me (Pray of Jabez)" by Donald Lawrence and the Tri City Singers; and there was a surprise belly dancer. Both were awesome!

After dinner, the line dancing began. However, my favorite part was watching everybody bop and step dance to those classic Motown hits.

The night ended with guests in a circle, singing "Happy Feelings" by Frankie Beverly and Maze.

Thank you Edwards' family for allowing me to share and celebrate with your dad on his very special day.

God Bless.
