2 people, 1 incredible day

July 18


now....if this were perfect, it would be the same year too. we will have to settle for a year apart. yiayia was born in 1917 and would have been 92 on saturday. the other person is nelson mandela. he was 91. they threw him a big bash...i just think it is cool to see who else was born on the same day. these are both examples of two people who made a big impact in our world. yiayia's might not be in the media, but i can testify that the STACK of letters after her death shows that she impacted many lives.
about mandela, he also has done amazing things. i honestly cannot imagine caring so passionately about something that i would be willing to spend 27 years in prison (on charges of sabatoge of all things)!
happy belated birthday mr. mandela....you are one good looking old man! happy belated birthday yiayia...we miss your simple joy!
