"Wow!!! That must have been an exciting year in your parents' life!!"
I said this while sitting with an elderly in-law, helping her sort through her hope chest. I noted that her parent's anniversary was very close to the birthday of a family member. I couldn't remember whose birthday it was until she altered the date on her parent's marriage certificate to avoid further embarrassment about the circumstances surrounding her birth.
She told me that is how families change history. Luckily, I stopped myself from reminding her that most of her relatives were Mormon and that, well, they probably already had that information.
If it helps, I'm thankful you were born. If they had waited any longer, you might be a part of another family. You're a lot of fun and we're lucky to have you!
