Happy
Monday to you. I could say, “Happy June
4th,” but nobody would know why that’s a thing. My siblings and I, as kids, made up a day,
between Mother’s and Father’s Day. See,
we didn’t know there already existed a Sibling/Brothers and Sisters Day. We thought it was unfair that we kids did not
have a special day, so we made up one, on
June 4th.
We had
candy, asked our mom to buy chips and dip, exchanged gifts, and, as I recall,
the MTV music awards fell around that day.
You know, that was when MTV actually played MUSIC 24/7. My older brother, Tony, bought me my first
porcelain doll; I think I was 19. My
younger sister and I stayed up all night, playing “our game”. Okay, we did that almost every day anyway.
I wonder
if any of my sibs remember this date as fondly as I do…
However,
on this date-June 4, 2018-there is a new celebration. My little brother and his beautiful, kind
wife welcomed their first child-a boy, who I will not mention his name without
permission (lol). His birth was a little
complicated at the end, but he’s here-they’re doing fine-and I know he has two
amazingly wonderful parents. Happy
birthday, my sweet nephew.
Happy
June 4th everybody!
