Four Days After Mine

I was born four days before my mom’s 25th birthday… her very own birthday gift in 1979.  So, for all of my life, our birthdays have been closely linked on the calendar and in our hearts.

She was ever careful to make them separate events, assuring that we each received our own celebration.  (Except for my 13th birthday, when it made sense to have my slumber party on her day, July 28. Very gracious of her to give up her day in lieu of yet another day for me… but we’ve tried not to make that a pattern. After all, from whom do you I think I learned this love of birthdays?? She loves them too, and her birthday gets its own sticker on the calendar and multiple venues of celebration, unrivaled by anything else on that day.)
Happy Birthday to my mom.  The true Maker of Birthday Celebrations.

  1. That picture is Tucker in pigtails! I love it!

  2. Happy Birthday to your momma! This picture is too sweet! Tucker favors your mom in this picture and Tyler definitely looks like you. 🙂
    Sharing birthdays is nothing new for our family. We have several double birthdays. My mom and b-i-l share theirs. My sister and one of my stepdaughters. My husband and our oldest grandchild~ and my best friend~ all born on Feb 5th. 🙂 My m-i-l and our second granddaughter share, also. So many celebrations combined around here. Not to mention our youngest (only one together) daughter was born three days after our second anniversary. We went out of town to celebrate our first anniversary~ then we spent the second one in the hospital in labor. It arrested. We didn’t get to celebrate out of town again until she turned 19~ and even then, we went after her birthday. LOL
