Best of 2012: Mom, Daughters Have Same Birthdate

We're reviewing 2012 by remembering our favorite stories from each month of the year. March 20 is a special day for the Gauna family for three reasons.

As 2012 comes to a close, Temple Terrace Patch is taking a look back at the year that was.

In April, we brought you the quirky story of the Gauna family, whose mother, Kim, shares the same birthdate with her daughters, Mia, 3, and newborn Emalyn. Kim was born on March 20, 1979, Mia on March 20, 2009, and Emalyn on March 20, 2012. Fred Gauna, Kim’s husband and the girls’ father, called the phenomenon “a strange coincidence.”

Thanks to this story getting picked up by The Huffington Post, it got 164 Facebook likes and has become one of our favorite anecdotes.
