04-19-26 Beddian Birthday

April 19, 2026

A Beddian birthday occurs when your age matches the last two digits of your birth year(e.g., turning 63 in 2026 if born in 1963). Named after NYC firefighter Bobby Beddia, this once-in-a-lifetime, even-year event means your age and birth year suffix are identical. 

Key Facts About Beddian Birthdays

• Origin: The term honors NYC firefighter Bobby Beddia, who noted the coincidence of turning 53 in 2006 (having been born in 1953).
• The Math: It only happens in even years. If born in 1960, you turn 60 in 2020, 61 in 2021 (no), 62 in 2022 (no), etc. Because the sum of your birth year and age must equal the current year 1963+63=2026), this only aligns on even years.

The very first message of the day came from my high school mate Darryl and I have watched and listened to it many times today.

Over the course of the day I had many amazing messages and wishes via email, messenger, texts, calls and in person. The outpouring of love was overwhelming. I put on my pretty dress and Dr Bonnie Henry Fluevogs and headed to the office to meet Sioux and Mary Ann. While they worked on the book for the entry way I finished and filed a GST quarter. I had posted in our family chat asking if anyone wanted to join me at Fenwick and Baker for brunch. At one, Bill and Deanne, Will and Sawyer, Kael and Ronan, and Gene all showed up! It was lovely and the food was delicious and the Perreault’s picked up the tab which was also just lovely.

I brought Sawyer home with me to plant a bunch of bulbs. He did a great job and we got the yard more ready for the season . waiting on my porch was a bag of birthday swag from Diana. She is a gift savant!! I had seen those towels and refrained from buying but love them so much!

I went back to the office where the ladies were still busy and finished another file.

At 6 I was picked up by Judy and we went to Heidout for a wonderful visit. We were treated to dessert as her birthday is tomorrow. I got a candle and she got the sparkler. It was fun and the beermisu was delicious

It was a very good day!!!
