2024 brings the rare occurrence of February 29, a date that arrives only once every four years.
For most of us, its just another day.
These unusual people, known as leaplings, are a distinctive group.
They share unique challenges, camaraderie and valuable wisdom about life and aging.
Leaplings share an intense affinity, often as if theyve known each other their whole lives.
When we first meet another leapling, they are brothers and sisters.
When I saw all my brothers and sisters that day, I couldnt stop smiling.
We were all filled with love and hugs.
Its unspoken, but we all just get it.

Dropdown birthday windows on online forms are a common logistical headache.
And, oh, the confusion!

And how old are you anyway?
you are likely to get two answers (one of which is divisible by four).

My mom made me a full sheet cake, she said.
