I was born 162 years ago today. My mother gave birth to me in a cave undersea, and all of my family was around her. My mother looked at me as I cried for the first time. She said to my family, "A child as unique and beautiful as she deserves a beautiful and unique name". So she named me Ursula, which I think is beautiful.

My mother tells me this story on my birthday each year, but for the past twenty years, she hasn't, because she passed away. I loved her dearly, and it hurt my heart, even though many people think I don't have one. Even the cold and cruel are allowed to love, or at least their daughter or son, as I love my daughter. Oh gosh I've gone off on a tangent again. Let's get back to the story.
