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.

    It is my birthday and I think the photograph shows my personality, the way I live my life. I like to lay on couch, love to have unordinary room, full of stuff. Such a nice photograph. Thank you for sharing.

    I was born on this day at 11am. I was born in a North Fulton, Georgia hospital for women. 5 months later, my parents adopted me and brought me home to Jackson, MS. I’ve lived in 3 different states and have traveled to several other states in the US, and I even lived in the U.K. for a bit. Would never have happened had my parents not heard about me through word of mouth. The world is a crazy place.

    It was my birthday and the last weekend before moving off to college for me. I had just turned 18 years old and was looking forward to starting a whole new chapter in my life. Little did I know that I was going to be a young father. She turned 24 this past December and I love her very much.

    This was the day my mom passed away after fight cancer for a long time. I was seven at the time. I like this picture. She looks happy, even though it appears to be cloudy. I think my mom would like it too, she loved gardening.

    So ironic. My son was born on this day, and his father was a baseball player in the minor leagues at the time. Uncanny how each photo echoes something of note that occurred in my life on the same day.

    This was the day I became a mother at age nineteen. I didn’t know it then, but this image of closeness and similarity foreshadows the loving relationship that baby girl and I have shared for 34 years.

    An appropriately dark and somber image, on this day I lost my father to pancreatic cancer. He was only 46.

    I wonder whose birthday it was in his world. It was my 23rd birthday too. The last one I would ever have with my father.

    On October 6th, 1979 I had a baby girl. I called her Harmony, I was 15. Today she is 37 and has two kids of her own, but I still feel too young to be called Gramma:-)

    My then 10 year old sister heard the f word for the first time on this day while in a hospital waiting room. The phrase, “I’m not f**king doing this!”, coming from our mother, in labor with me, who tried walking out twice between contractions. The image of my mother, tall, slender but strong, sweating and swearing, with a huge pregnant belly stubbornly decicing labor was NOT in the cards that day makes me laugh every year.

      This is my birthday too. Two weeks late and what I’m told was a very long, slow labour later, I was finally pulled out by the head, a little bit battered and bruised! My Mum still loves to tell anyone who will listen how horrendous my delivery was. 30 years on I feel like she might need to let it go!

    I was born today at around 3:30 a.m…maybe the pitcher’s glove is an apt symbol of a new babe coming into the world. This picture diary, I’m so taken…how a simple act can make life so extraordinary. Thank you for sharing…ps I guess my dad backed the Chevy Nova my parents’ owned over my mom’s hospital bag in his hurry to get my mom to the delivery room. Always makes me chuckle, especially because he rarely gets flustered. Cheers to owning each day in one’s life.
