"Tu B'Av, inaugration
day, Aug. 4th and Sept. 11th"
Hello John and fellow Doves.
I've been a faithful reader for a handful of years, not writing
until now. I've wanted to do so, but have felt as if the timing
wasn't right? I would like to share some of the dates of birth
and anniversaries of some of my family members that correspond
to world figures/events as well as the Jewish Holiday of Tu
B'Av. This is the second posting of my
letter, the original posting can be seen here,
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2012/lmh718.htm
. My addition is in the paragraph next to last
paragraph and I've deleted some information/pictures this time
around.
Growing up I noticed that both
of my parents birthdays were within ONE WEEK of two of their
children's birthdays. I thought that was pretty cool, but odd.
My birthday is January 20, which is of course inauguration day.
While in elementary school I remember going to the gym to watch
at least one televised presidential inauguration. My parents
married on September 11, decades prior to 09-11-01. A loved
one's birthday is August 4, the same date as President Obama's
birthday, separated by ONE YEAR. (Noting that I watched
President Obama take the oath of office on my own birthday in
2009.) This
morning, August 4th, I read Pasty's post
http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2012/patsy84.htm and
was speechless.
The Jewish holiday of
Tu B'Av 2011 was celebrated beginning on August 14 and ended on
August 15 -- my late Mom's birthday. Research that
I've done show that Tu B'Av 2012 will begin on August 3 and end
on August 4 -- my loved ones birthday, the same person that
shares a birthday with President Obama. I continue to
research Tu B'Av and found this link useful, with hopes of
accuracy.

and I am unmarried.
Lastly, I found the
movie entitled "A Thief in the Night" on YouTube and
watched "A Distant Thunder" as it's continuation. I had
this book marked for a couple weeks but "never had time" to
watch it, actually both, until today. I wasn't surprised to see
that some things from these movies hit pretty close to home, in
a specific manner. Pizarro
Lapps on July 30th posted a letter , which can be read
here, http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/july2012/pizarrol730.htm
. This letter reflected parts of the movies and mentioned a
previous watch date/birthday of one of my loved ones.
I'm not sure if these things mean anything at all, but to
me they seem a little too coincidental. Any input would be
appreciated! Thanks to each Dove that assist me to grow in the
faith, along with His word, as we patiently wait to go
home.
Thank you and God bless,
LMH
