April 8th 1956 Easter Sunday of that year , my Mom gave brith to my brother and I ... yes I'm a twin.
 Although my identical twin brother was born before me , I came into this world four miniutes afterwards.

 As my brother and I grew our family always made a big deal about our brithday, always had our own cakes.
 My Mom and Dad always had us dressed the same, my older brothers and sisters got us the same kind of toys so we wouldn't fight over them.
 Some holidays were special for us like Easter, Holloween, and above all Christmas but they always had a big party for our brithday.
Now that I'm much older and brithdays are really no big deal any more I still think of the 8th of April as my personel holiday.

 I spent 32 years working at a G.M. plant and never worked on on my brithday, now that I retired from G.M. and doing a little part time job , I still won't work on my brithday.

 Thats my personel holiday for me to set back and reflect on the past , thank God for guiding me though another year and to hope and pray for a healthy furture.
