One of the biggest fans of the National Hockey League side Toronto Maple Leafs was having the saddest birthday of his life, but because of his father’s tweet, the day turned out to be his most memorable birthday. Kade Foster planned for his eleventh birthday, but his planning turned to dust when none of his friends showed up. Seeing his son upset, Kade’s father took to Twitter and tried to turn things around. Jason Foster shared a picture of Kade with his cake and explained how none of his friends showed up to his party. Foster also requested people on Twitter to take a minute to send his son a birthday wish.
My son Kade had his 11th birthday party last night. None of his invited friends came. That hurt. I’m asking my Twitter friends to show him some love today. If you have a minute, please send him a birthday wish. @Marner93 @91Tavares @MapleLeafs #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/kn0vP1l6z8

Jason even tagged Toronto Maple Leafs players, Mitch Marner and John Tavares, hoping that the stars would see the post and wish his son on his birthday. Mitch Marner and John Tavares are Kade’s heroes and were also be seen on his birthday cake. Within a few hours, Jason’s tweet received a lot of replies and within 24 hours, the post received more than 40,000 replies, 150,000 likes and 20,000 retweets. Even Mitch Marner and John Tavares took notice and wished Kade on his birthday.
