While life is full of disappointments, it’s important to remember that there’s still some good in the world — even on garbage-riddled services like Twitter.
Twitter user @ayenalambat recently shared some photos from her younger brother Aaron’s amazing Stranger Things-themed birthday party. Aaron apparently invited eight of his school classmates to attend — however, none of them showed up.

People were downright offended on Aaron’s behalf — and many even enthusiastically volunteered to attend Aaron’s next party.
this is as sad as papaw and his burgers. It looks like he had a great birthday though. ?

The public generosity went above and beyond when Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown offered her condolences to Aaron and let him know to send an invite her way next time.
What!!!! Oh Well You can let them all know that everyone on behalf on Stranger things would’ve come! I think your awesome and next year I would like an invite… Please? ??? https://t.co/gNir0sMpsm

Obviously, @ayenalambat was totally flabbergasted that Eleven herself responded to the photos.

So, Aaron’s disappointed birthday turned out to be a monumental success — and a great story.
And don’t worry, Aaron’s classmates not showing up didn’t make his party an empty, barren desert: Aaron’s true friends totally came through.
why was he so tense blowing the candles like that ??? pic.twitter.com/enp4N0v2Ic

Aaron’s sister updated everyone, letting them know that Aaron is past his disappointment and isn’t going to let his schoolmates get the best of him — he’s just not going to show up to any of their parties in the future.
update: he’s chillin now. he says if his classmates are gonna invite him, he won’t go. that’s his payback pic.twitter.com/auiTpAuz8M

Way to brush off the haters, Aaron. We’ll just see who’s laughing when the cast of Stranger Things shows up to your next birthday party.
