Ian William was born on a Tuesday, on the 7th day of the 7th month of 1970. The farmers almanac records indicate the day was sunny with a high temperature of 84F. Ian entered the world exactly 2 years, 4 months and 15 days after I'd been born. Although our mother wanted 3 children, a rapidly growing tumor required surgery that would prevent anymore children. It was official, we were a family of four.
