August 28 is an auspicious day in my family: the birthday of Johann Wofgang von Goethe, my father's favorite poet; My father's 118th birthday . And my daughter Claudia's birthday. When she was born, my father considered her my best present from me to him. I let him believe that. It made him happy.And writing about it makes me happy every year.

Thank you. l'll take it.
My mother's birthday was March 15th. She passed when I was 14. When I was 30 I gave birth to my second daughter on March 15th. I thought that was a great way to honor my mother. One of her granddaughter's have her middle name, Mae. (Mom's name was Minnie, so not a good name for a human girl now.) And one of the great grands also has Mae as a middle name. She honors both my mom and her dad's mom's mom.
