Silent Sunday

Happy 44th Birthday

November 20, 1980 was a snowy morning. We left home a little after 8 AM. The hospital was barely a block away from our house.

I was told oooops baby isn’t in a good position so you could be here all day.

Guess you heard that declaration, got into a good position, then everything happened fast? Guess you decided you’d surprise us.

You were born at 10:10 AM.

My mom came out to help.

Looking at this photo of my mom holding you, I realize my mother (68) is just 4 years younger than I am now.

Love to you on your birthday.

Love, Ma

What do you call the object on the right?

Yes, it’s a lost pacifier In a parking lot. Someone had a long and perhaps loud ride home Unless they had a spare.

So there are many nicknames for a pacifier.

By what name do you call it?

It might depend where you live or perhaps a family special moniker.  (This photo is not intended to spark debate on whether pacifiers are good or bad.)
