Today when I woke up there was an email from him and an instruction to open a URL. When I got there, it was a custom Oregon Trail game he designed and programed in HTML for my birthday.
All the places on the journey are places we've lived and visited. Along the journey there were clues taking me on a IRL scavenger hunt to wine, perfume, a purse, clothes and accessories (provisions for the journey, from the Trader Joe's, Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs and Target trading posts) hidden all around the house.
At the end of each location, there was a video birthday greeting from my oldest and best friends and my family that were sent from literally across the world.
This is now the thing that I would run back into a burning house to save.
