How things have changed in that part of the world.. I have an interesting birth story myself but admittedly not nearly as interesting as yours. I'll read this again later and hope to add a few comments! I wonder if you too joined the peace corp and followed in their footsteps? A great experience that would be!

What a great gift from your father to write such a beautiful story of their experience of your birth...a devastating but comical first visit to the doctors and a pre-arranged wedding. Reading this makes you anxious to read more of your Dad's stories.

I love the tender and inquiring expression on your mother's face and of course how beautifully written your story is by your father. The near-engagement at birth is fascinating and much<br /> fun about American diapers! It was good of Peace Corps officials and friends to be so caring, and this is well before any talk of being accomodating for pregnant employees like we have today.

It read so fluidly that it felt like sitting on the floor listening to an old radio show. I just loved it and what a fabulous recount of your birth! It's hilarious that mom's tend to always remember the fabulous and inconvenient craps of their offspring. LOL...I still recall my daughter's epic crap in the Landstuhl hospital.<br />I'm so happy that your parents didn't agree to the arranged marriage 'thingy'...I would have missed ALL your fabulous stories from NY.<br />Happy Birthday again, my friend!<br />So happy you're in the world :) Lisa Mincklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707109305523594370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011936380845362530.post-84315127804531769322015-12-30T09:45:55.382-05:002015-12-30T09:45:55.382-05:00OMG....that's right!
