THIS DAY MAY BE FOR YOU!

Happy-International-Left-Handers-Day-2012

For those of you who are Left Handers, also commonly referred to as
Southpaws, then this day is just for you! International Left Handers Day
is celebrated worldwide on this day every year. This blogger happens
to be right handed, but I want to take this time to show my appreciation
for my left handed friends, loved ones and one of my favorite left handed
musicians, Dick Dale ‘The King of the Surf Guitar’.

Lina Medina (born September 27, 1933, in Ticrapo, Huancavelica
Region, Peru) is the youngest confirmed mother in medical history,
giving birth at the age of five years, seven months and 21 days.

Medina was brought to a hospital by her parents due to the 
increasing size of her abdomen..She was originally thought
to have had a tumor, but her doctors determined she was in
her seventh month of pregnancy. 

Medina’s son weighed 6 lbs. 43 Oz at birth and was named
Gerardo. He was raised believing that Medina was his sister,
but found out at the age of 10 that she was his mother. He
died in 1979 at the age of 40 from a bone marrow disease.

Medina never revealed the name of Gerardo’s father or the
circumstances of her pregnancy. She is 78 not and currently
lives in Lima, Peru.
