It has left me freaked out because I distinctly remember everything surrounding her birthday --- the excitement, rushing to the hospital, and what was going on in my life. It was my sister's first baby. She called me on the way to the hospital because she forgot her camera at my apartment.
I had to go to a job that was my first professional library position. I hated this job more than anything else. It was hell on earth. I asked to leave work early so I could leave for the hospital. I was lectured because I had taken too much time off (no more than three days in months), and they had just found out that I had applied for another position. Well, of course I had. This job was horrible. I promised that I wouldn't pursue the other job just so I could leave for the hospital. Of course, I left that job only a few months later.
It was also the day before my best friend's 30th birthday. Her husband was throwing her a surprise party and I was playing a key role in the set-up role. We were nervous about Amy's due date and the party. Now the two of them are connected because their birthdays are a day apart.
Within her first year, I started a new job. I turned 30. I really started getting interested in my career. And, there was this little being who has turned into an amazing ten year old child. Granted, her birthday isn't for another month but I can't help thinking how much she changed my life.
