Birthdays are a celebration of life. It is a reminder of everything that life has to offer. Every person deserves to be appreciated and celebrated on their birthday. The Boston Police Department ensured the same for a young man, Chris. The man had dialed 911 with a peculiar request. The receiver ensured they got Chris just what he needed, The Boston Police Department dispatched two officers to carry out the duty and they managed to move people with their heartwarming gesture. Sharing a glimpse of the same on Instagram, the officers arrived at Chris’ home.

“Two of our officers responded to a 911 call asking, ‘Someone to wish him a happy birthday,’” the caption read. The two officers stood at the door and waited for Chris to answer. “Here he comes,” one of the officers said. “What’s up, pal? How are you?” he asked Chris as the man opened his door, a little confused. The officer asked for his name and introduced himself. “How old are you today?” he asked Chris. “25,” he responded. The officer then enthusiastically asked, “Is it your birthday?” “Yes, sir,” Chris replied with a hopeful smile. After a few exchanges and some wholesome banter, the other officer presented Chris with a cupcake decorated with candles on top.

“We tried to light candles for you man, but the wind blew it away,” the officer said. The officers adorably continued to speak with Chris and politely asked if they could come inside the corridor to light the candles and give Chris an authentic birthday experience. As the officers lit the many colorful candles, the bright light showed the smile on Chris’ face. “We’re happy for you man, 25 is a big number,” the officer exclaimed. The officers then sang “Happy Birthday” for Chris as he waited eagerly for them to finish the song so he could blow out the candles. “Make a wish,” the officer encouraged Chris before he could blow the candles out.

Chris was excited after blowing out the candles, feeling extremely special and loved. He shook hands with the officer and said, “You’re awesome, bro!” “We wish you the best birthday,” the officer said as they proceeded to leave. They also checked on Chris, asking him if he was okay and whether he needed anything. “Do you need anything else?” the officers asked. “Nothing. This is more than I could ask for,” Chris remarked.  “Thank you, officers and happy birthday, Chris,” the text overlay in the video read. “The caller after the fact was quoted saying, ‘The officers made my day!’” the caption read.
