Ah! I, too, had my golden birthday in 1972 — May 12, to be precise — and also age 12 like you were the same year. I never knew then what a monumental year it was!
I grew up in NYC in the 50s and never heard of Golden Birthdays. I googled it and it says that Joan Bramsch, an author, came up with the Golden Birthdays for her children. This is a very nice story.
You've triggered my memory and my imagination. Suddenly, my parents, siblings and children are in my thoughts. How warm and refreshing. Great spiritual exercise. Thanks, dear friend.

Our daughter celebrated her Holden Birthday in March. She turned 31 on the 31st!

I am so glad. I was hoping for that effect, even if I didn't know it. Thank you for reading and responding, dear Doc.
Love this and you!
Back at you. Thanks for reading.
This 1947 New Jerseyan never heard of the birth date anniversary celebration concept. Too bad! But those sure are cute kids.
Kathleen, we Jersey kids got to grow up in the greatest state in the Union. We didn't need "golden" or "platinum" anything, did we?
Meanwhile, though, we'll have to be on the lookout for some golden and platinum birthday parties to crash.
What an auspicious occasion.
