A Shared Day

Because today is her birthday too.
Enjoy.

♥

They share the same birthday
& I always thought that was Pretty. Darn. Cool.
How many people can say their Mom and Dad were born on the same day ?

A guy from Indiana,
A girl from New York,
who met and fell in love in California.

What are the chances ?
Especially the back in the day chances when the world wasn’t as connected as it is today.

A changed mind.
An I don’t feel like going
A this long distance relationship will never survive
& boom.
Everything is different
& I’m not sitting here, writing these words.

But they made it work, through some hard days and long nights, through laughter and tears, through the good most definitely outweighed the bad.
These two people made each and every single day work.

70 years later and he will describe in precise detail the very first time they met.
He loved her then, he loves her still
& misses her more than he will say.

Happy Birthday Mom.
Happy Birthday Dad.

Cheers to You.
Cheers to Love.
Cheers to the incredibly beautiful life you built
& many, MANY thanks for taking that chance.

Yes.
My parents have the same birthday.
How cool is that ?!?

I Love You Too
