birthday numbers

Mike Clelland and Alex Clelland

My Dad and I share the same birthday, August 22nd.

Last year, I took him to his doctor for a check up, and I watched him fill out a form in the waiting room, he wrote slowly in strong capital letters. I was surprised when he filled in his date of birth. I couldn't help comparing it to mine, I had never noticed the tidy resemblance until right then, it was all the same numbers with the last two digits switched.

Dad's: 8 / 22 / 1926

Mine: 8 / 22 / 1962

Also, in 2011 we had another curious number synch with our birthdays. It was a reversal of our ages. This was our ages (below) when we finally noticed the similarity of the birthday numbers.

Dad was 84

I was 48

You're also very much alike physically —at least, from what I can tell with that pic

...Which makes me wonder: have you ever talked to him about weird experiences that happened to him during his life? maybe stuff he never bothered to discuss with you, because he thought it was just odd and unimportant?

You have very psychic-looking eyes!

Theoretically speaking, Leo-Virgo cusp should be a tricky fence to straddle, but it seems that you have both done brilliantly.

LOL, My son and I share the same birthday as well, May 11. Me in 1970 and his in 1995. Very cool!

To add something else. He has been the best birthday gift I have ever received, LOL. Really enjoy your blog. Thank you.

Our youngest daughter was born on my 36th birtday. My birthday is 7/17/1966 and her birthday is 7/17/2002. The most amazing part to about all of this is that my age will always equal her age in numberology. Example, I'll be 44 this year and she'll be 8. When I'm 50 she'll be 14 and so on and so on....
And, we share the Chinese astrology sign of the horse.

I think it's cool that you share a birthday with your dad.

That's my sister Anne-Marie's birthday.

My youngest daughter's birthday is August 22, 1985. Interesting.
