Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement.  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 my birthday, my mom once told me and my brother that I was a ‘wonderful surprise’ while he was a planned pregnancy. Then my brother continued to refer to me as a ‘Whoops’ baby lol the band aid seems very fitting when I think of this story.

    This is the day of my birth, the only story about that day I know is my mother laboured for 20 hours before I was delivered by emergency c-section. Years later my dad was on a motorcycle tour of India and in the high Hymalia’s he had a past life vision of the same event, but taking place in a round hut on an open plain with a medicine woman trying to save both myself and my mother, who he believes has been his wife through many lifetimes. I’m now 35, they divorced when I was 21.

    This is the day I was born. Funny, I’m in the armed forces. Maybe this was foreshadowing at its finest.

    I was born on that day, at 3:29 am in the trauma room at Elkhart General. My dad drove my mom 2 hours through a snow storm to get us there and she was barely holding me in!

    This is also my birthday. I think the blurriness of the photograph makes it that much better.

    The day I was born. Very fitting, because I love birds, so binoculars. I hoard clothes and love to eat. He looks like a young Bob Dylan and I love him too. Perfect photo for my day.

    This is my oldest daughter’s birthday. She was born in Germany while I served 6 years in the army as an MP. Her father would later die when she was 16.

    Sonder is important.

    At 2:24 PM on June 11th in 1989, I was born…in 28 years I’ve not met a single soul that shares my birthday with me. It’s weird. In this great wide world, with people passing you by every day, rows of houses with families as far as the eye can see…It’s always been hard for me to believe that I’ve still not met a single person that shares this day with me.

    It bothers me.

    Too often we forget the lives of the people around us. We are so absorbed in our own, it doesn’t even cross our minds. This photo is beautiful to me. I was beginning my life on that day…and so were they.

    They were beginning their lives with each other. (I hope and imagine) They were beginning a life full of love, of new beginnings, of new firsts…a life of adventure (even if that adventure was fishing on weekends, dirty diapers, and family gatherings)

    As a writer, I can look at the people around me and imagine the life they might be living.

    As a human, I can appreciate the fact that we are never alone, not truly.

    I know, one day, I’ll finally meet someone that shares this day with me. Until then, I’ll just appreciate the fact that, these two shared it from afar.
