Cops and Firefighters Celebrate 8-Year-Old's Birthday After No One Else Came to PartyInside EditionJohanna Li6 hrs agoAn 8-year-old Texas boy had the birthday party of his life when a troop of police officers and firefighters celebrated with him over pizza and cake, after no one else showed up.“We threw up our lights, hit the sirens a few times, and [Graham] started running across the driveway, stopped on the grass, and he was just in shock at that point,” Lieutenant Mark Schwobel of the Hurst Police Department told InsideEdition.com. “He was showing us his Nerf guns. He looked like he was having a heyday with all the extra company and attention there.”Schwobel explained he rallied his entire team to come out to Graham Day’s 8th birthday party when the boy’s mom, Jennifer Day, told the department no one had shown up at her son’s celebration.“Graham was just so broken down [when his friends didn’t come], but now that everybody’s come, he’s come so far out of his shell,” his mom Jennifer Day told InsideEdition.com. “Maybe this has been more than just a small birthday thing. This might have healed a piece of him.”Day explained this wasn’t the first time no one showed up at her Graham’s birthday.When Graham was turning 6 years old, Day said she sent out invitations, but none of the 19 kids that received invitations came.“I lied, and lied, and lied to make it all better,” the mother said, She said she believes her younger son, Charlton, who is nonverbal and has autism, is what drove the other kids away.http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/good-news/cops-and-firefighters-celebrate-8-year-olds-birthday-after-no-one-else-came-to-party/ar-BBBJPgk?li=BBnb7Kz
