Today, May 26th, is my older brother, James David's birthday. He was only 3 days old when he died, and of course, I never knew him. But, Mama always remembered his birthday, just like I always remember my baby Cody's birthday. I never understood that maternal calendar of hers, until after Cody died. She would say, "Today is James David's birthday. . . he would have been. . . So, since she died, I automatically remember David's birthday. And, by the way, he would have been 49 years old. I think Mama would be pleased that I remember. . .
