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 the day I was born here in the Philippines. I’ve had so many struggles in life nevertheless, I am still thankful that God has given me more than enough strength to face every trial. ❤

    Grand photo… this is one of my favorites, captures the color spectrum and life as we know it. Seems so dreamlike in a way that takes me back.. very full of life and happiness and simplicity.. to return to that would be a dream, or maybe it all is..
    peace and love to those reading 🖤 May you always find your way back to the truth and the light inside of us all !

    I’m in some of the pictures of the day in 1982 when Janus Circus went to Europe. On this day, my birthday, I was 26 years old. Wow.

    I came here because I watched the same FB video. This was the day I was born; interesting to think of this picture being taken as I was given life from across the world. (South Korea)

    Beautiful to think about others on the day I was born. My life was entered into the world. Being added into life starting my own story just like others. Life is amazing.

    What a strange, beautiful, mysterious creation This is. The pictures, Jamie’s life, Jamie’s death. It all feels magical here. It’s fun to think of ourselves as characters in the play called life. How we meet, how we interact, how we think about each other. I definitely feel connected to people who share this birthday, my birthday, your birthday. Thank you Jamie and Hugh and Betsy.

    I was born on this day. To be in a incubator for a month in a half. To be a motherless child. Only to see her face at 16 December 23. To then see her again at 18. Learning how to be a child,teen & adult from a father’s view. Calling my grandmother; MA. Being a happy child, not having much but feeling like I did. Becoming a teen and learning what it’s like in this cruel world. Learning that my mother is another drug user; who hides it well. Becoming and adult who moved out at 18 and learned so much. And today 10/26/17 I am 30. I went from struggling, abusive relationships, working hard, wishing harder to being content and knowing what to do. I am not perfect, nobody is. I am not rich, I’m not great at anything or have a career. But I am free, humble, and great full. I get thru my days day by day. Working & working on myself. But let me tell you about my life; let’s go backwards. I lost the one person who was my mother figure on 1/21/16, 2/7/16 I lost my other grandmother; 2/7 was my other grandmother’s (ma) birthday. At 15 I discovered that my father had Aids, I put my head down on the table as if I was sleeping but I froze. I also had a stepmother who I looked up to but was to afraid to call mom, she also had Aids. Let’s go back further. Growing up in was daddy’s girl, so happy and adventures. Loved by many taken cared of by many. Going to carnivals, beaches, camping, trips, playing outside, and being with my favorite cousin. At 12 my step mom came along with her 2 daughters. I didn’t know how to accept it but learned how to deal with it. Learned to love her then grew hate towards her years later. I only got along qith one daughter the youngest. My dad and stepmother went to church, ofor course we all had to go. Again I learned to love but this time I didn’t hate it. I enjoyed it. But when I left I left everything behind. Started doing things I wasn’tsupposed to be doing. I got thru my like and now I’m here. And that’s my short story. aracelisarii86@gmail.com

    The day I was born. Of course, it would be an odd day, ha! Fun fact: apparently my hair was spikey when I came out and that’s why my mum calls me her little pineapple. I was born at 1:05 am and my mum was annoyed at my Dad because he ate her sandwich after she had been in labour for hours.

    My birth date. I love the beach. It’s interesting that a grass umbrella is pictured. I also find it more interesting that this is exactly how I feel right now: Day dreaming under a grassy umbrella while in reality living in a concrete world.
