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.

    And to think that maybe at that same time I was being born, its exciting to see this. I imagine they were having a awesome time. I wonder with situations like this, what is happening and the exact same moment I pressed send? The emotions I feel are inexpressible… I will totally be using these for my classes and such. Thank you for preserving a lifetime

    I just saw a short video about Mr. Livingston’s photographs on facebook. I was curious to take a peek and since today is my son’s 32nd birthday, I figured I’d look for 1/19/85. This is an amazing thing to see with all the photos and years… I’m glad I ran across the video. Thank you for sharing!

    On this day, I turned 18yrs old. It was an especially memorable birthday, but not for the sole reason of turning 18 and officially becoming an ‘adult’. My whole life happened– changed, during the couple weeks leading up to this day.
    I had graduated high school two weeks prior by the skin of my teeth. Aside from the social aspect, I didn’t enjoy school. I was so happy to be done. While walking across the stage to get my diploma, I wore my red graduation robe with rainbow colored knee highs and Birkenstock sandals…the ultimate 90’s Eugene/hippy attire. But the most ‘memorable’ part of my look was definitely the very large baby bump that was due to pop that day. I was going to be a teen mother and I was ready for the challenge. I had my daughter on the 11th and it wasn’t until 8 days later (my 18th birthday), that I realized how much ‘LIFE’ had happened to me in the past couple weeks.
    Since I was only 18, I was used to having gifts and fun things to do on my birthdays prior. When I woke up that day, I went downstairs to find notes spread throughout the house by my family. They had all written ‘Happy 18th Birthday’ on slips of paper and hung them where I could find them all day.
    It was the best feeling EVER. To have such thoughtful wishes and love all around me…to have accomplished a high school diploma…to have become a mother (something I dreamed of being), and to have become an ‘adult’ realizing the best gifts are the ones that touch our hearts.

    This would have been my fifth birthday. I think my dad may have lost his job at that point. I may be wrong. On the lighter side I know I had a fresh hair cut for that day.

    I had just returned from a two week trip and was dressed for a job interview. I stopped at the local coffee shop for a cup of coffee. I paid and left. As I was walking out the door, my Dad, who I had not seen inside, followed me out and said, ” Come join us for coffee!” I didn’t hesitate a moment, as I didn’t want to be late for the interview, saying, “Sorry, I can’t. I’m on my way to an appointment.” That was the last time I saw my Dad “normal”. By 26 of October, he had suddenly passed. I wish I had sat with him and his friends. Regrets.

    This was my Dad’s last birthday. He said, pointing to each of us girls and each of his grandchildren. “I have everything I need. I have you, and you, and you….” How I regret not being able to show up more than I did to honor what he was saying. Treat each moment as though it is your last.

    This is the day I was born. The only day in history two no hitters were ever pitched. To this day I’m a huge baseball fan. I love that my birthday is a baseball picture πŸ™‚ it looks like it was a great game.

    The evening we became three. What started as an innocent flirtation suddenly became much more. The second best decision of my life.

    On this day in my story…
    I was 18 and I had left Colorado to visit family in the DC area. I was driving my little VW convertible car with a friend and got lost on New York Avenue in DC trying to get back to my Aunt’s house.

    A Ford Taurus station wagon pulled up to my left side and for every block and we both hit every red light together. The front seat passenger rolled down his window and yelled how “Hey Baby!” (Yuck! I thought) But after the 5th or 6th block, they rolled down the window again to ask for directions. I laughed and said we were lost too. We all decided to pull into a parking lot of a storage facility and see if we could make sense of the directions given to the other.

    The driver got out of his car and walked around to be between his passenger side and my driver side. He bent down, tied his shoe lace and looked at me eye to eye and said “Hi, I am Alex”. BOOM! I was hit with passion. I 18, he almost 21. He was not my typical “type” in any way…but for some reason I knew this was the one.

    It struck me as very odd because I had just broken up with a long term boyfriend because he wanted to get married and have kids right away and I felt too young to be in such a commitment. But somehow this 21 year old Bolivian man took my breath away and all the thoughts of being too young flew past me.

    He was visiting from Bolivia with some of his family who lived in the DC area and was with some friends and they too were lost. We decided to go to a Denny’s and have coffee and we talked all night long. 21 years later, we are still together. We have 4 beautiful children and we have grown so much together. Best friends, lovers, partners in business, partners in love, partners in life, partners in parenting, etc. <3
