Laverne Ross was born on November 25 in Ohio. One hundred years later, on exactly the same day, her great-granddaughter Lipik was born.
The chain neither begins nor ends there. Laverne’s daughter was also born on November 25, and Alicia, Lipik’s mother, repeated the date one generation later. Four women and now a boy, united by a calendar that seems to have made an agreement with the family.
Alicia said she had dreamed that her children would continue the tradition: the previous three came close, but none matched the date exactly. With Lipik, the cycle was completed on the exact morning the family had been waiting for for one hundred years. Now they have something more to share on every birthday: a story passed down along with the date.
