Today…or yesterday, if we will follow what is written in his birth certificate.

Some Edil trivia:

Edil has always celebrated his birthday on January 29th. Up until he went to college and he needed to supply the registrar with a birth certificate. Lo and behold, it said his birth date was January 28.

Off to consult with Ma. His Ma gave birth to 7 of her 8 children at home with the help of a kumadrona (or a midwife). Ma claims that is incorrect since she knew when Edil was born.

In fairness, the birth record shows he was born early morning - which her Ma claims to be true.

So now, we celebrate the true birthday on the 29th.

But we tell legal people it is on the 28th. We tell the kids their Dad’s day is on the 29th but when the school asks them say the 28th. Confusing?

I just say it will always be nice since he gets two birthdays
 Leave a note to greet him for me here.
Thanks!
