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.

    I was also born on this day. This room looks like one in my late father’s house. Random items…unkempt. He would have definitely have a guitar in a milk crate at some point. I love this site!

    My birthday as well. So strange to glimpse every day life beyond my reality that day. I can’t fully explain why I’m so drawn to this photo. But I’m comforted by it. I suppose the realization that life is so much bigger than all of us helps us appreciate the small part we have to play in something so grand. I certainly appreciate the artist for dedicating himself to this project; and the creator of this site for making it available. Thank you.

    I was born on this day at New York Hospital in Manhattan. I wonder where in NY this picture was taken. At least I know it was a sunny day in NY on the day I was born. ❀️ Charlotte

    I’m so curious as to why the whole year of 1985 isn’t included. Anyone know why it seems to be missing?

    The date that reflects the last time my husband’s family was together…his dad, mom, sister, brother in law, nieces, my husband & I
    His Mom would die days later. She was the glue that held it all together. This solitary female figure is so profoundly perfect.

    My husband’s mom died on this date. She was a pillar of strength…we all leaned on her, mostly my father-in-law who was in the throes of Alzheimers.

    The day we found out my husband had to have a liver transplant or he would die. The world tilted for us, it took all my mental, psychological, physical and faith based strength to keep from falling.

    Our wedding day. Love how this one fits.
    Life is an improv, does not come with a script, but can be the greatest reality show you will ever participate in: especially when your co-star is your soul-mate.

    The day my husband received his liver transplant. What a fabulous picture that somehow manages to show hope and possibilities.

    For some reason I thought I was born on a Monday. Apparently not. What a cool pic.

    A friend passed away almost 24 hours ago. I grieve and feel the same fear and anxiety I had when my father passed over two years ago. Obsessing over getting older and how I fear it. I then heard about Jamie’s photos today. Probably by some sort of divine message. And here I am looking up my birthday. Looks like I should remember that as much as death is real, so is living. And birthdays. And joy. So thank you for reminding me (and I’m sure many) that living… living is the answer.
