My nephew Patrick was born on my husband's birthday and always felt a strong bond with Bill. My granddaughter Katie's was at the end of June so the family usually celebrated Katie's and Bill's birthday together. In 2017, Patrick was here so we had a triple birthday party for the 3 of them. In January 2018, Bill and Patrick died within 10 days of each other. This photo brings back the wonderful memories of them celebrating their joint birthday with the family.

Thankyou for this challenge. I was pleased to find the scanned photo I have used on one of the EHDs saved when our home was flooded in 2022 as the real photo along with many many others were destroyed.
What a wonderful memory...so happy for you that you still have at least the digital copy :hug2::heartpumppink: And :giggle4: at your Mom chopping off heads :rotfl:

I remember my first real birthday party for my 6th birthday with friends and especially the game "hit the pot" - I loved that more than anything back then
The photos are old and analogue and blurry, but they still show enthusiasm and joy

Thanks Jen for the challenge: a lot of therapy here. The only other memorable birthday I have was the blizzard a couple of years ago, and not one photo from any, ever. I'm very mixed about birthdays. :p

I have several friends with birthdays on or near mine. I made my layout about the annual birthday luncheon that I enjoy with two of those friends. We always include the husband of one of the friends, since he was also the "work husband" to me and the other friend. We have a lot of laughs as we celebrate!

Thanks for the challenge. When I saw the photo a few weeks ago, it brought back such happy memories. Unfortunately she lives far and isn't very good with technology, so she couldn't send me a copy (I should have taken it when I had the chance).
lm44west - Mary...you've been sprinkled with fairy dust. Please check your pm's for a message from the birthday fairy!

Well, not a fan of birthdays (always the Grinch!), and I wasn't sure what to scrap about. But, you wanted journaling - here you go:
I always translate in the gallery, but since this was a journaling challenge - I paste it here as well:

A Birthday Memory
The challenge to tell about a happy birthday, at first felt like undoable. It's always been a hard thing for me. As a kid, my birthdays was always focused on making mom happy. You should love your gifts, the cake should be the best ever, and if just mom was happy, I didn't need to be happy. It went so far, that I couldn't even get truly happy, even when I got the gifts I wanted, or when the cake was delicious. Since then, I've never really been able to appreciate birthdays. Birthdays has always been about pretending for me. That I needed to react and perform in the right way, so that no one would get mad or disappointed.

But then I came to think of my 23rd birthday. It was a good birthday. It was March 16, 1990, and it was a Friday. Time to party! I wanted to go out, but all my friends where working. I ended up going to Palace with Leif, a guy that was merely an acquaintance. At Palace I met another guy, who went to the same school as I did, and that also was just an acquaintance. But I more or less forced him to join us at our table. I wanted people around me, I wanted to have fun and party. At that time I was quite the party animal. One beer after another, and being young and stupid, I got really, really drunk before the bar closed.

When Palace closed for the night, I brought the guys with me home, to have cake and lemon gin. Horrific combination! But, since we weren't exactly sober, we ate it. Leif got so drunk, he fell asleep on one of my couches. But the other guy was awake, and wasn't he quite handsome, really? I was totally drunk, I hardly remember, but I know we kissed. It all ended with him falling asleep on my other couch, and me in my bed. When we woke up, Leif had gone home. I served some kind of breakfast made of what I happened to have in my kitchen, and then and there, he fell in love with me. It took a little bit longer for me, and he had to woo me for a while, before I gave in. But now, more than 30 years later, I can say it was my best birthday - I got my first kiss from Urban, my life's best and greatest love.
