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. My father emigrated from Sri Lanka to Liverpool having turned down a job in New York. I grew up around the corner from John Lennons house, went to uni in Manchester where I now practice medicine and live with my beautiful wife and 2 kids. The transience of our lives brings sadness, but through time and distance the photo Jamie took that day keeps his memory alive. I hope that thought can bring some comfort to his loved ones and all those who have lost someone xx

    3:15am a little girl was born dead. She was blue and unresponsive. Doctors did all they could to try and revive the baby but were unsuccesful. He handed the little baby to her crying mother who had carried her and nurtured and loved for 9 months. Grasping her daughters lifeless body she held her close to her heart and didnt let go. Stroking the babies head she sang a lullaby from her childhood with tears running down her face. She kissed the baby with all the love in the world. Few minutes go by…suddenly a miracle happens. The baby starts to pink up and let out a small cry. Doctors couldnt explain it but the mother new. Her warm body and love gave that baby life. Medicine has nothing over the power of skin on skin contact. Please encourage this to all parents. You might just save a life like my mother did.

    I will share Sandra’s story here with you Dear legend Jamie Livingston , I resemble this face, a face of the donkey. I have a black mole exactly on this spot and I am a girl just like its pink. I wear red lipsticks as if I have been an old 40’s actress. have a reason to inherit my skin and my styles from this country. And serves pets and people with my motivations despite my own self. Like a sweet donkey, who have neglected its ownself and forgotten to estimate its self worth. Still does not bother about own and trying to stable things and people while having a smile on the face always 🙂 💛 smile with a bright hope.. Thank You Jamie Livingston.

    I was born on this day at 8:36 pm. It’s crazy to see someone else’s life and how in weird ways we all just intersect with each other.

    This is the day of my birth, as well. So amazing to see a piece of the life someone on this day that wasn’t a family member or a friend of a family member. A total stranger. Provides a small amount more perspective of the world that day.
