"My only wish every year is that everyone is at a better situation today than they were last year, my family is healthy, and my friends continue to grow and are still around to celebrate with me. To all who greeted and spent some time with me this month, thank you so much. Because of you, my birth month is always incredible. Let's all continue to grow guys. Let's all celebrate and love each other better!" he wrote in the caption.

And on his birthday, March 31, he was surprised with a birthday cake.

 

Thank you so much for the surprise birthday cake! Will definitely be back because of the food and especially your sweet hospitality! Made my day even more special. ??????????
