A Day, a date, a memory ?

Sometimes in our lives a day can be so normal. Time can pass us by like we are standing still.
We begin in the morning and motor through our day until we return to our blankets and pillow again. What happened in between?
Just another day.
For widespread holidays we are reminded of halloween, most recently. Christmas day perhaps or a few others dotted along our calendar throughout our year.
Yes it is your calendar, your year, your time is your life. So indeed your day is so important, each and every one of them.
So what makes a special day ? What makes us remember something oh so special ?
A Birthday. What a great day, the day a beautiful new born arrived. We can remember the day a little baby came into our life and once a year we celebrate a birthday. Do you actually relive or even go all the way back to that birth day and recall how wonderful the day was when the little munchkin was born ?

How special really ? For some of us we can remember many special days of our children or a younger sibling such that we can enjoy that birthday so much.
It is funny how a date can mean so much, a simple day that will pass like any other. Yet our feelings lift a little or even a lot for that special day.

Some of us can be totally freaked out by a date, Friday 13 for example or what about even April fools day. They are marks in our year we do not forget. How could any ever forget a birthday ?
I have been caught up on a day for quite some years now and will never forget it like it was yesterday.
Making memories all the time when this day has rolled around.
Now it rolls around and carries weight even fear. Well how can a day be so strong so powerful ?
November 16 is the day, D-day.
My oh so beautiful baby was born making me a father at only twenty years of age. What a wonderful memory. A Day in my year that marked a change in me from run of the mill boy to Father, wow!
Now here it comes again.
Cherish your days, cherish your memories and make more memories everyday.
I like to live these memories a little in each and every day of my year. What a bittersweet day you have become November 16.
A smile cracks across my face with the sun rise, turning to frown and a tear just as quickly. Wow how much a day can mean.
Why share with you? To encourage you to make your special days a little extra special so you can have the greatest of memories to always have close to your heart, making your mind smile with the simple thoughts of how truly wonderful you can remember the birthday of your special ones.

Make the Memories now or be left like me searching and holding tightly to the ones that exist.
Darra this is your birthday month and the 16 is fast approaching. Will I make it ? I think so, it will be fine (I hope).
Happy Birthday to you Darra, November 16 the day that changed my life forever. I miss you much and now imagine how we could have celebrated, the fireworks we could have and how very special this day will always be.
NOVEMBER 16 your beautiful day
