Later in life, my grandfather (Grandpa Kenyon) was blessed to have fallen in love with and married my grandmother (single mom of two boys). In doing so, he became the grandfather to 8 children. Coincidence: Later in life, I was blessed to have fallen in love with and married my husband (single father of 4 children). In doing so, I have become the grandmother to one (for the moment, I am certain that number will grow). Why the coincidence? It is only through these marriages that my grandfather and I became step-parents and later on to grandparents.
So what is the connection with the March birthdays? One of my grandfather's grandchildren has a birthday on March 24th - my cousin Laurie. Coincidence: my granddaughter's birthday is also March 24th. Hmmm.
Another coincidence: My granddaughter's name is Hannah and my grandfather's mom name is also Hannah.
Stupid coincidence: I spent Wednesday, the 23rd thinking it was Hannah's and Laurie's birthday. I was wrong on both. I know it is the wee hours of the morning and I should stop trying to think.
These are my cousins: Laurie, Sue and Sandi (left to Right). Laurie's birthday is today but I can't forget that Sandi's was the 15th.
This is Hannah and I on Christmas Eve 2010.
I don't have a picutre of him on this computer, but my brother Chris also had a birthday on St Patrick's day. Don't want to leave him out. The only coincidence I can think about with my brother is that we both have the same parents, not an odd coincidence.
The one thing that ties all of these birthdays and relationships together is that they all came about....
Because two people fell in love!
