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.

    My little sister would have been born exactly 15 days after this photo was taken…..

    Rest easy Jamie. Thank you for these photos. What was once your story has now become a story for all of us.

    This was my third birthday. My mother would inform everyone soon that she was expecting her second child, my little sister.

    I was born on this day at 4:44 pm in North-Central Indiana. I was told it was snowing when I was born. It always snows on my birthday. So amazing to me seeing people wearing sandals and swimsuits.

    This is THE birthday of a girl I used to love. More you can say my first love. She was a total mystery till date. We had many issues but i tried to stick together as long as I could. Probably I will never meet her again. Jokingly I say to my close friends that my entire DC Marvel comic collection is with her. OH! also my Sherlock complete book. May be I will go to her house one day to get these back. If she still kept them. We had a really bad separation as far as I remember. Took me quite some time to get back to normality. But it was good for both of us.

    I was born on this exact day. Peppers are my favorite vegetable and beer is my favorite alcoholic drink. Love it!

    I was born on June 14th 1990. Though I have no memories of the day, this picture connects me to a part of the world on the same day I was born. The man in the picture is playing a Sarengi (Indian classical instrument) hope I’m correct. As I am from India perhaps on the same day I was born Jamie thought about India. My mother used to play classical instrument (Sitar). Also I attended a classical concert this saturday, Anoushka Shankar Live. How life connects the dots is really a mystery. I like the motion blur in the picture and the busy background.

    Wow, that is amazing! I have never thought of and never asked my parents about my birthday as a day of the week like Monday or Tuesday. But looking for my birthday here, watching those stunning pictures I found out that I was born on Friday, that’s something special to know about.

    I got married this day. I was so happy. My husband had an affair 4 years into our marriage and I only found out 4 years ago. Life has been hell ever since. I look like buddy in the middle most days…or at least feel this way.

    I just turned 20. I was living with my fiance for 3 years already. We broke up shortly after my birthday. He slept with my best friend. A theme that continues to this day. I’m now 53.

    I don’t know how I stumbled on this website today but I am grateful that I did. I was lucky enough to sneak a peak into your life. I felt the love in peoples eyes as they looked at you through your camera.
    I am full of admiration, sadness and grief for man I will never meet.
    I was not expecting the impact these pictures would have.
    As I sit here with hot tears rolling down my face, I am reminded at how I take life for granted. Always planning for what’s next instead of enjoying what’s right in front of me. Thank you for the wake up call. Rest in peace dear man, you will forever be in my thoughts.

    I was born on a Sunday. What stands out to me in this picture, of mere coincidence is I’m a child of an interracial parents.

    This is the day I was born. My father had said that he would not go to the hospital until the Olympics are over, so I waited. I was a week late and when they were putting out the flame on tv, mom was putting on her shoes. Her legs were swollen and she had to stomp her foot really hard to get the second shoe on.. her water broke just then. I have always had a a sense of dramatics in my entries 😉
