Family Connection

[Arthur Little]

... today, March 26, is a significant date for me, as it marks the birthdays of BOTH my late father AND my sister-in-law [my brother's wife] Edith.

While this day is doubly significant to you, Arthur, I'm sure you remember your loved ones at other times - but their birthdays are a milestone to think back and reflect as each year passes.

Indeed, two~times~over, that date's of special significance to me, Alan ... and your kind & thoughtful reply is, as always, very much appreciated! Edith, though, at the "relatively ['scuse pun] young" age of 67 is still very much alive, thankfully.

Yes, I'm fortunate in being blessed with the ability to remember dates in general ... particularly those associated with familial connections.

You certainly know many dates in your family and in your life Arthur,
I am afraid i dont know many at all, but my way round that is to ask others when is it so and so birthday, and hopefully its not gone by

I only know my sisters birthday because I was present at her birth and busy burning the afterbirth on our fire, never known any other family members birthdays because no one ever mentioned when it was their birthday!
