Only in a small town would something like this happen. So, which day do you celebrate on? Or like me do you not want anymore birthdays (I'm going to be 40 on the 20th). I hope the issue has not caused you too much pain - it sounds like you were mostly concerned about your father's anger. My co-workers birthday is on the 4th but he doesn't really care - he's just glad that his birthday is a day off from work. Thanks for sharing this!

My co-workers birthday is on the 4th but he doesn’t really care – he’s just glad that his birthday is a day off from work.

Thanks for sharing this!

Yes, it's sometimes helpful to remember the famous line from Anna Karenina: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” ;-) It's all about learning to understand and <em>get along</em>, isn't it, in the end?

I hope your Dad is in good health and able to forgive those that hurt him. Don't be too hard on your parents for the date on your certificate. No one is perfect. You are fortunate to have been loved by your family all your life and learned the value of loving others. That I know of, my extended family has three tales of suffering because of seemingly insignificant choices followed by a lifetime of nursing one's pride. Very regrettable. I wish you many happinesses on your birthday surrounded by those you love! Make sure to kiss your Daddy and tell him you love him. Happy Birthday, Domestika!

Your story leaves me with mixed emotions...which is what every good piece of writing should do. Makes me wonder how many other Canucks born on the 4th feel angst. Too bad really, our neighbors are the cool kids on the block :) I Stumbled onto your site and such a pleasant surprise that was.

Maybe it explains a bit why I value honesty, diversity, and a warm /welcoming home space as a refuge from strife! Thanks, Becca, glad you liked it.

Yes, the old guy gave us <a href="http://domestikgoddess.com/a-good-word-please/" rel="nofollow">a bit of a scare</a> this winter, but he's still with us and going strong. Tough as nails, this hardy Maritime stock! (There won't be any pointing and laughing, though, as none of his siblings are still alive - not so much universal health care, I don't think; more to do with my father being the baby of his family!)
