It is the first time you see the light of day. Every year after that, it calls for a celebration.
Some people have many more to celebrate than others.
According to my mother, I never would have made it to my first birthday if it weren't for a good doctor and mellins food, a milk substitute. Mellins was used before Mul-soy, for babies that cannot digest milk. According to mom's stories, as I approached my first birthday I weighed only a little more than I did when I was born. I finally made it to have 84 birthdays. My wife Em always baked a cake for my birthday after we were married.
