I was born 5:27 5/27. My Paternal Grandmother died 1942 and I have always felt her a Guardian Angel.

What ideas do you entertain beyond your logical mind?

Well, my mother died on my birthday. It was around 10 pm in 2010. She was 65, and it was on the 65th anniversary of the first atomic, the one dropped on Hiroshima.

Then I had my last alcoholic beverage on my mother's birthday in 2015. She would have been 70.

I don't know why I drank on that day. Nor did I have a precise reason to quit drinking the following day. It was purely coincidental. And yet I can't shake the feeling that there is a reason why two major life events happened on our birthdays. It feels like there's some sort of connection. Like Life is trying to tell me something.

One theory is that my mom's death on my birthday was like a bomb going off in my life. That I last drank on her birthday is like the grieving period was over, and it was time to begin a new life....a rebirth of sorts.

The 5 years in between was not a good point in my life for many reasons. The one bright spot was the relationship with my girlfriend. But even that got ruined before I began turning things around. And my mother's birthday fell right around the time that I hit rock bottom.

Well...
I were born on a Wednesday morning.

And for a few years as a young adult,
I considered waking before noon on a
Wednesday, to be extremely bad luck.

And, then i realized, i just don't like waking
up in the morning... Any morning.

My mother left my dad when I was 8 (1969) and she didn't come back till I was 21 (13 years later).
When I was 21 I was going to CB mechanic "A" school.
I arrived at the barracks on Friday the 13th at 1 pm (1300).
I was assigned bunk number 1313 in cube 13 and my locker number was 1313.
There was a delay in classes starting for a week so I was in "A" school for 13 weeks instead of 12.
There were 13 people in my class module.
We had 26 (13 x 2) separate subject classes.
I had a 4 year active service contract with the Navy and extended an additional 3 years making my total service 7 years active duty. My extension bonus + my pay totaled = $13,130 and some change.
I was married for 25 years but I dated my X for a year before we married making that total 26 (13 x 2) years.

That's why my black cat Bailey has 2 small white spots, on on his chest, the other on his belly.
He's been walking by you and your kind a great many times, no harm comes to him. He's a smart one :)

I'm born in 1966... many meant to be born that year were aborted in Asia, especially China. Not a good year, year of the Fire Horse, an extra only Horse sign has every 60 years. Considered disastrous for girls to be born in such a year, so ppl aborted pregnancies.

My birthday is on the 13th in May. Born on a Friday.

I'm living proof neither of these are bad luck.

Everyone born in my family die in October, I have not searched how far that goes back but for sure up and including my great great grandpa. My kid bro was named after his uncle who died on Oct 17 at age 27...as did my brother. Numbers and dates frequently have significant meanings.
