Why was National I GOT MY HAPPY BACK Day created? In the year of 2019, the world was hit with a devastating and contagious disease. It affected thousands of people around the world, many people suffered, there were fatalities, businesses were closed, unemployment was at a high, many were separated from families and isolated, and mental health was on the rise. I myself suffered from a life-threatening condition concerning my heart. It caused me to retire earlier than I expected. I endured many heart monitoring procedures, and it required me to take medications for the rest of my life. During the time in my life in July 2021, I became very depressed and suffered from major anxiety. I prayed a lot and decided that I was not going to let my situation defeat me. I began to focus on my music and songwriting. I also felt that I wanted to bring more awareness to women who ignore the signs of a possible heart attack. I contacted the American Heart Association and introduced them to my slogan, explaining the meaning and purpose behind the slogan, “I GOT MY HAPPY BACK.” I also wrote the song with the title. Afterward, many things transpired. I was invited in joining the campaign “Rejoining Your Rhythm” with the American Heart Association in February of 2022. After telling my story, I had an interview with our local channel television station, Channel 4 WDIV, and they promoted the campaign and also my song “I GOT MY HAPPY BACK.” I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be able to celebrate each year with others around the world, a national holiday called “I GOT MY HAPPY BACK.” I chose every August 4th for the day of commemoration of triumph and resetting of our lives, “I GOT MY HAPPY BACK DAY.” Sincerely, Dee Dee Davis
