Celebrating Joint Birthdays

From Patti Digh writing about her joint birthday with her daughter Emma:

In fourteen short years, Emma and I have eaten strawberries as big as our heads together in Israel, seen plays in London together, waited on line at midnight for Harry Potter books together, seen the beautiful Johnny Depp in Ă‚“Pirates of the CaribbeanĂ‚” at midnight on opening day together, slept on a (hard, cold, hard and cold) floor at the Sea World in San Diego together so we could wake up and watch manatees play, driven together in a red convertible to a Breyer horse show where people are Way Crazy Serious About Plastic Horses, made movies that made us snort with laughter in the local supermarket, sold fresh-squeezed lemonade to raise money for abused horses, taken all-night train rides together and pinky sworn never to do that again, ridden Ferris wheels in Chicago rainstorms together, sang Johnny Cash tunes at the top of our lungs together in the car, planned great things for the future together.

This really does not do the full posting justice. Trust me, this is worth taking some time to read and enjoy the celebration of life that only a few can express in this fine way.

Help celebrate their birthday bleavingng a comment at 37Days!

Happy birthday Patti and Emma!
