Today is May 9th — Mother’s Day. Coincidently, May 9th, 1976 was also Mother’s Day — and — the day Kelly was born. I remember the weather being a little nicer on May 9, 1976… bright and sunny and warm.
Since Kelly was born, her birthday has fallen on Mother’s Day in 1982, 1993, 1999, 2004, 2010 and 2021.
The day Kelly was born, Gerald Ford was President, James Callaghan was the UK Prime Minister, and Pope Paul VI was leading the Catholic Church. One of the best selling books was The Russians by Hedrick Smith. The top pop song was Welcome Back by John Sebastian.
I won’t reveal Kelly’s age, but if my calculation is correct, she’s 16434 days old…. and that makes her a member of Generation X (I think.)
I’m not sure if Emily has figured it out yet, but she can probably get away with only one gift this year… it can be a combination Birthday/Mother’s Day gift.
Happy Birthday Kelly (and Happy Mother’s Day.)
Love you lots….
