Today is July 26. I have three brothers. Adam is my youngest brother. He turns 19 today. For many years I thought his birthday was on July 28th. This can happen when you have 13 siblings.
Adam is a ranch hand in North Dakota. He most recently said to me I don't work. "Every day I go to fun." Adam is affectionate and loving. He has been known to scoop me up in front of his friends and spin me around and then laugh when I ask to be put down. He almost always has a big smile on his face.
This evening I pick up my phone and located the entry Adam Lampi, I pressed talk, and waited for him to answer the phone. This was the phone call:
Deep raspy voice answers and says: Hello
Me: Oh, (thinking he was playing a joke on me) Is this Adam?
Deep raspy voice: No. Are you calling to wish me a Happy Birthday?
Me (Confused): Well I would be calling to wish my brother a Happy Birthday.
Deep raspy voice: Well I ain't no Adam, but it was my birthday on the 24th.
Me: Well Happy Belated Birthday!
Deep raspy voice (laughing): Thanks! You're a few days late!
So...
To my youngest brother Adam:
I've learned you've changed your phone number. I have the new one now. Happy Birthday. I love you! -R
