September 8 has been my birthday since 1978.

They told me you were due on September 16th, 2007.

They scheduled me for a c-section on September 10th, 2007.

I went into labor (and denial) on September 7, 2007.

I went to the hospital late, late, late on September 7, 2007.

When it was officially my birthday at 6:38am on September 8, 2007, it had officially been your birthday for three hours and eleven minutes.

It’s been your birthday ever since.

Eight on the eighth.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!
