Hi Evfurry buddy!
You know, I have had a lot of birthdays (today is my 75th) but I can no longer have the one thing I loved the best about them.
It is where your Mom, one of your Aunties or your Uncle, starts telling the story about the day you were born. All of those people are gone for me, and I miss them everyone. My adoptive Mom (who was a sister to my birth Mom) really told the best one, the temperature was way below zero (Mid November, not really likely) and the snow was very deep. They had to get my Mom to the hospital to have me, but the old car got stuck on the railroad tracks, and three people in the car had to push it off and onto the road. They made it in time, but it was touch and go all the way. I was born, my mother was fine, but the Aunties who came along and had to push the car off the tracks were the ones who had the hard time. I got the giggles everytime I heard the tale and I am quite sure it was a TALE. It did get colder every year and the snow got deeper, thats for certain.
On another story, my Doc wrote me that the biopsies taken are all just fine with no cancer or unusual cells. I may be good for another year!
Love and hugs,
Jo

Super news from the doctor. Better even than the cake! And what a dramatic entrance you had into the world Jo!
ReplyDeleteWe have just returned from taking my Dad out for his birthday lunch at a local favourite pub. The landlord told us it was his 67th birthday. So I told him Dad beat him by quarter of a century, minus a day!
Cheers,
Gail.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Jo!!!!!! I love that story of your birth! I lost that too, when my mom died, because my dad isn't the sort to remember details or tell a story like that one.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy about your medical news, and I hope that you have a fabulous year ahead of you.
I came to say thank you so much for the visit with loving comments when we lost our sweet boy. So appreciated and helped us so much. Hugs Carol x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! What a wonderful story and happy to hear you're good for another year. Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteBleated Birthday wishes!! Pray god for giving you a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband also lost his mother while birth..
Just because we are late does not mean our wishes are any less heartfelt or ardent. May your new year be filled with health, bounty, blessings, beauty, activities you love, memories you cherish, and friends that celebrate what a wonderful person you are. Happiest of Birthdays. Glad the biopsies all were fine.Sending scarlet sunset that fade to purple and crisp mornings where the clouds crown the heads of our mountains. The White Dog Army
ReplyDeleteMmmm. That's a story I never got. Maybe they were disappointed I wasn't a girl....:)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday Jo, we love your birth date story. Its funny how we got lots of stories years ago.from parents aunts and uncles and their friends.
ReplyDeleteBut no one had a TV then so people talked more.
