I was fortunate to be born on my brothers birthday July 27. He was 2 years old when I arrived and I am certain he never expected such a present. As children we celebrated our birthdays together and well into our twenties we would have cake with family and celebrate together - sometimes ending up at the same social party. Every year my brother would say "you were the only gift I ever got that I couldn't return".
