Something About Today

There is something about today, he would type in an email that he would send me every 310th day of the year.
There were some big things that happened on this day....
In 1813 Mexico declares its independence from Spain and in 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected our 16th President, but something else happened too.
Hmmm, maybe it was that RCA displayed its TV for the press in 1936 or in 1952 the first Hydrogen bomb exploded? No that's not it either.
Well, in 1985 the 22nd space shuttle mission 'Challenger9' landed at Edwards Air Force Base and in 1986 President Reagan signed the landmark immigration reform bill.
Oh I got it! In 1977 on this day your mother was in labor and gave birth to 2 beautiful baby girls, I remember when they were rolling you out of the delivery room in the warmer and those eyes looking all around. We didn't know we were having twins and that was a sweet surprise.
Happy Birthday Baby!

This isn't one he sent to me, and I wont receive another, I will treasure the ones I have received and miss the years to come where I would expect them. They were cheesy and they were full of his love to tease. It is funny (not in the real sense) how you miss the little things and how much they really mean to you when you don't get them anymore. I'm a daddy's girl, always will be. I will enjoy my day today but understand that it just wont be the same without him.

Other famous people I share this day with are:
1932 Don King
1946 Sally Field
1955 Maria Schriver
