Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    This is the day my son was born. He had spina bifida and wasn’t expected to live. If I could have pulled my head away from the world, I would have.

    Popcorn for my birthday, how apt – I run a film website and I see hundreds of movies a year… I’m sure I’ve eaten hundreds of buckets of popcorn too!

    This was my birthday after I graduated high school. Life was good, exciting and I had my whole future ahead of me. I don’t know this man but he reminds me of my grandfather. He was short in stature but I loved that because I was too and we could look at each other eye to eye when we talked.:-)

    My birthday! Being goofy, obsessed with aerospace, and in professional aviation (commercial jet pilot/instructor) I find this very fitting!

    My adopted son was born on this day. I have no idea what I was doing or where I was when he was born. Now I know 1 more thing about the world from this day. Goodbye Jamie, thank you for sharing your life with all of us.

    This really tickles me! It was my 21st birthday, but as it was a Tuesday I’d had a big party on the Saturday before…pre-empted by a night out with one friend on the Friday who’d complained too many people would be around and they wanted to celebrate with me without competing for my time…we wound up working our way across the optics behind the bar! The following day – party Saturday – friends drove the 250+miles from London to join in and kidnapped me for the old “hair of the dog” resulting in me being late for my own party…and my mum rebuking me!!…My kidnappers had already gotten me totally stoned, to the upset of my closest friends who’d gone directly to the party with their families, but by the end of the night all was well! The visiting friends stayed over – already family were staying so it was a full house and we didn’t get much sleep…so nor did anyone else! The Sunday saw a family trip to the Pleasure Beach at Blackpool (one of the UKs largest funfairs)- just over an hour away. I’m sure I was still drunk! Then a slight let off on the Monday before heading out on my actual birthday for more of the same. The clock-watching in the picture just seems so fitting in these circumstances!! It just feels like such an analogy for how I was feeling “what time/day is it?…is it really actually finally my birthday??” – it brings a smile to my face anyway. I’m so thankful for stumbling across this beautiful record of your friends’ incredible life, love, attention to detail. <3

    This was the day of my Bar Mitzvah. There was a huge Noreaster in NY. I wonder if they had a power outage.

    This was my 19th birthday and my first day of school at the University of California at Santa Cruz. I moved into student housing at Porter College (B4N) and met my hall mates and my dorm mate. It was the beginning of a beautiful adventure and my first taste of “adult freedom.” I’ll never forget this day.

    This is the day I was born. And I feel like this photo represents how my life has gone since then: Pizza and a confused face.
