Fittingly, June 27 is typically the midway point between the beginning of summer and the Independence Day holiday. For someone who loves both almost as much as liberal causes, it’s fitting that was the day my wife Whitney popped out and said “Hello, world!”
Thanks to Facebook remembering birthdays is not necessary.
We receive a reminder on our home page and proceed from there. Some people make
birthdays a big deal, whereas others like to celebrate another year without
much fanfare.
Despite Helen Keller,
director J.J. Abrams, designer Vera Wang, legendary
soccer player Raul, a former girlfriend and the famous for no reason Khloe
Kardashian having birthdays on June 27, it’s a day that is dominated by one
person — Whitney. She was aware of her sisterhood with Keller and Kardashian. A
Google search revealed the rest.
My wife is one of those people who believe birthdays are a
big deal.
They are days where birthday cake, confetti, balloons and
random silly things should be done to commemorate another year. Birthdays are
times when family and friends battle to be the first one to blow up her phone
at midnight in an attempt to be the first to share their well-wishes. To her,
it’s a reminder her favorite holiday is in a week and summer has arrived.
To know Whitney is to love her, especially on her birthday.
Laughs and liveliness,
-Wb
