I have a cousin that was struck by a car and killed on my fifth birthday and that alone has been interesting in my life. One of my employees will not celebrate her birthday. Most people think it is because of her age, but it's because her father died on her birthday.

My condolences, Fred, and I pray that you will find the strength to still celebrate fathers' day and find joy in it.

I have a second cousin (much older than me) who's mother died on her birthday.  I was born the next year on her birthday.  Needless to say I was/am her favorite because I offset her loss.

Death and birth can be funny things when they get interlaced.
