Yesterday was Celine’s sixth birthday. Knowing that she couldn’t have a birthday party like other six year olds, her mother Farrah arranged for the party to come to her. The 1 PM parade down Rugby Avenue began with carloads of her friends, wishing her a happy birthday as they went by, each car festooned with banners acknowledging the day in capital letters. Finally, the Kensington Fire Department came down the street, with lights flashing and horns blaring. Neighbors lined the street carrying signs.
