5

7 has always been my favorite number.  I was born on August 7.  

My father was born on September 7.  My mother was born in 1907.  My sister was born (and died) on November 7.  My daughter Rachel was born on December 7.

My brother Paul was born on May 17.  My brother Ted was born on October 17.

Perhaps 5 is also a lucky number for me.  I was born in a year ending in 5 (1945).  My sister-in-law Janet was born the same year.  

My daughter was also born in a year ending in 5 (1975).  My son Bret was born (August 15) in a year ending in 5 (1985) as was his wife Pam.

My wife Cristina was born on November 25.

I should also consider the number 9.  My grandson Nate was born on March 9.  My grandson Leo was born September 29.
