Beating the Odds

80 years ago yesterday my favorite doctor arrived in this world. 41 years later -on the day - his own son was born. 35 years after - still on that very day - twin boys arrived. That's the GranddadDoc, MacDaddy and the Mak-Tatos. Four boys, three generations, one birthday. What are the odds of that?

Yesterday, a super typhoon was all set to demolish an already storm-ravaged nation. We prepared. And braced ourselves. And prayed very hard. Rains did come but the super typhoon never did.

Yesterday was a good day. I like defying the odds.

Happy Birthday Dearest Boys!

I've greeted them enough of course... but just had to say what a super special day it is : )

Ack! Happy Birthday to each and every one of your boys. Kisses to them. Uh except maybe the doc, as he'll probably think that's just not cool.

And yes -gladness all around that Manila, at least, was spared.
