Oma’s Birthday

April 14th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

Today is Oma’s birthday.  For the past almost 10 years that I had married into the family, we had always celebrated her birthday on the 17th April every year.  It is her birthday as she had recalled, but this year she told us that she had remembered wrongly.  Based on her chinese lunar birthdate, her birthday should be on the 14th instead!  So for so many years now, we had celebrated her birthday late!  And to think that she was quite particular about not celebrating birthday late, she said it is only for the deceased.  So I joked with her, we had celebrated it late for her for so many years, she is still so happy, strong and healthy, so such a “belief” is really a myth.
