Portraits of Me – 56 is Just a Number

Birthdays happen once a year!

Unless you were like my Grandma Mollie Smith. Affectionately called “Mollie B”. I lived with Mollie B for a year during high school. School was across town by bus in Baltimore, but I could walk a few blocks from her house.

She was born in a little town in Virginia to a very poor family and when she was young, records were not well kept so she ended up with two birth certificates and two birthdates. For years she would alternate which date she wanted.

One in February and one September. Our family decided to celebrate in February.

Well, my birthday is June 19th and now I’m 56.

That certainly sounds strange since all our friends call me “the baby” or “the young one”.

I think I’ll do only one birthday this year, I’m quite sure Mollie B won’t mind if she had not past in 2019.

Here’s to another year and I dedicate it the young one in me! Buckle up, you are invited to come along for the ride.
