... was my dad's birthday, August 24th 1977. It makes it pretty special. Growing up near the ocean on the east coast we always had lobster and corn on the cob for our birthday dinner. I remember when lobsters jusr were $1.99 per/lb....those were the days!
I have very broad shoulders to this day, and on the day I was born I got stuck on the way out. As my mom tells it, the doctors were about to break my shoulders when I popped right out! The difference a moment can make in life.

Although I was supposed to be born July 3, I didn't make it until July 6. Ten years and 2 days later, I finally got a sister after 3 brothers. Do you know how hard it is to celebrate a Sweet Sixteen with a bunch of 6-year-olds running around? I think that's the last time my mom made us celebrate together.

My birthday is August 18, my Husbands birthday is December 18, we were expecting our first child on July 18. Alas, he was 9 days early, born on July 9. |

I am amazed at the number of July 4th birthdays. I just got a new daughter-in-law, Amy, and her birthday is July 4th. She is the cutest thing, we really love her. I guess I won't forget her birthday, like I do with my really wonderful son-in-law, Brian, whose birthday is in December (can't remember the day). And I even sometimes forget the day of my daughter's (Tania) birthday. We adopted her on January 22nd and then she had her second birthday the next month, on February 20th, so in my mind her birthday becomes February 22nd, two days late. It has caused me a bit of embarassment over the years. :-)
My birthday is May 23rd.

My hubby was born on the 4th of July 1971. YEAH!! I was born 28th of August 1974.I love seeing everyone's birthdays here. This is nice!! My dad's b-day is September 11th too. We still celebrate because though it was an extreme tragedy, life should be cherished and celebrated!!! |

Eileen: Tell your son I can empathize. I feel the same way. Of course I do not want to belittle the importance of that tragedy. My sister was a witness to the twin towers. She is still affected by that. But still I would like some celebration of my birth. I will say that my parents, DH, DS and DD make up for all the rest. I try to focus on the positive. |

Hi Nicol,
My oldest son has a birthday on Sept 11 also and has the same problem. He wonders why the focus on his birthday always seems to be on the tragedy instead of the miracle of his birth. He is 32 this year and last year on his birthday he wanted to go out dancing with a group of his friends but all they could think about was the tragedy and did not want to go out dancing. he was so bummed!
We live in Washington and he lives in Iowa or we would have gone out dancing with him.

Another Virgo here...I would say we are a bunch of extremely precise people. My mom has always made a huge deal out of birthdays! She still does. My birthday is September 11th so whenever I respond to someone asking my birthdate I get a response of, "Oh, I'm sorry." Kind of puts a damper on my birthday. |

We did that alot with my oldest son's birthday..which is November 27. We would celebrate on Thanksgiving and when he was 4 one time we went to a friends birthday party and he was so dissapointed that there was no turkey!! Now that he is grown we are back to celebrating his day on Thanksgiving since it is easier..we are usually all together.

My birthday is July 2 and my family always waited to celebrate it on July 4th. It was years before I realized when my birthday actually was!!!! Then for a few years I insisted that we celebrate it on the actual date but now we're back to it being on the 4th so the whole family can gather and I like it that way.
But once in while the odd thing happens,
Once in a while the dream comes true,
And the whole pattern of life is altered,
Once in a while the moon turns blue.

Hello! Connie, I too, was born on December 7th, although it was in 1970! I rarely meet anyone born on this date. It's always before or after. Hello, fellow sagitarian!

Hi farmgirls! I was born November 8, 1947, on my Grandfather's birthday. That always made me feel special, as we spent almost every Sunday with that set of grandparents. We have many birthdays that include 8 - my sister is October 8, my daughter Molly is June 18, my son Saeb is July 8. My husband Aaron was born on his Grandfather's birthday - so guess it was meant to be!

Thanks! I guess it could be son-in-law, too! Now I know! I was thinking sibling something something, and could not come up with the other words!

Is it "son in law" perhaps?

December 12 is me, SIL and my cousin! December 19 is my husband and nephew. Two lifelong friends Dec 6 and 21, my Mom was Dec 4 and my father in law was Dec 16. Do you sense there is a Sagittarian vibe running through my life?!!! My son is August 3 so his Leo personality fits right in with all of us!

It's amazing how so many of us share the same birthdays or close to within families! I am sure it is hard having birthdays on days like Dec.7, Nov.22, or Sept.11. Martin Luther King was assainated on April 4,1968, my 12th birthday... Eileen your story of your DH and the birthday cake is an example of true devotion! Very heartwarming!

I was born on January 20th 1951, one day before my Fathers birthday and one day after my brothers birthday. all three birthdays got celebrated on the 21st because it was Dads birthday. I never had one of my very own until I got married and my sweet husband ran home between classes in college and made me a cake from scratch!! Then between classes again ran to the store to buy powdered sugar for the frosting. He was hurrying to get it done and hidden before I came home so in his rush he tripped over the sidewalk that was raised by an ancient Elm tree that Spokane was famous for, and cut his jaw needing a trip to the emergency room for stitches. Trooper that he was he finished the frosting and hid the cake before he went to the hospital! After school when he was driving me home he told me a lie about how he got hurt. I was really surprised by the thoughtful cake he had made. I think it was the best birthday present he has ever given me. He is a Libra born in October as is our daughter. We have one son with a september birthday and one with a february birthday.
I love this topic thread!

I was born on Dec 7, 1951. The 10th anniversay of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I certainly wish that it had been a day earlier or later since I do love being a Sagitarian (sp?)
