If you’re not good at Roman Numerals, the title of this blog is the 9th of May, 1976 — the day our baby daughter was born. It was a Sunday, in fact it was Mother’s Day.
If we had saved the calendar from the year Kelly was born, we’d be able to use it again, but not until 2032. The 1976 and 2032 calendars would be exactly the same — well, that’s not totally true, some days like Easter and other irregular holidays that are based on a lunisolar calendar, wouldn’t match up.
I tried to figure out how old Kelly would be in dog years, but even though I always thought one dog year equaled 7 human years, my extensive research found out it was more complicated than that… dogs age differently depending on breed and size — you you have to pick a specific dog or breed. If you pick a Swedish Vallhund (say his name is Sampson,) he would be 220 dog years old. When Kelly reached the age of 6, Sampson would have been 42 dog years old From that point forward a medium-sized dog like Sampson will age 4.5 dog years for every human year.
Kelly’s birthday numbers 5, 9, and 1976 makes her Life Path number 1. It represents initiative, potential and singularity. She is a born leader, and insists on her right to make up her own mind — and — demands freedom of thought and action.
Who wouldn’t be proud of a daughter like that?
Happy Birthday Kelly!!
