There are two life changing moments in my life. Once, when my wife and I were baptized. But before that, was when our son was born.
We were two young children, having a child. Life was forever different, exactly 13 years ago from the date of this post.
Our little baby, that has grown up with his parents, is now officially a teenager.
Life was so uncertain, there was no telling where this young family would go. There was no real reason to believe we’d last. That this little baby would have any real hope for a future.
Yet, here we are. Some children in our position use their age as an excuse. They would do stupid things and in the end, the loser is everybody. Yet, but the grace of God we survived. We moved forward and onward. We were blessed along the way. We made good choices along the way. We got lucky along the way. We messed up along the way. Yet, here we are.
This baby is now the heart of our family. He is an amazing son, whom I am proud to be his dad. Its been a fun 13 years, and I am looking forward to the adventure that will be the next 13.
Happy Birthday Son!
