HapPy BiRtHdAy to Youuuuu. Drew.



August 9, 1994. T'was a big day for me ...my third, brown-eyed, left-handed, Oboy was born; EXACTLY what I was praying for.




 Happy 18th Birthday, Drewbs. I love your big toothy grin, your enthusiasm for life, your positive attitude, your habit of saying 'no' first - and then changing your mind, and I love the way you treat your girl.




 I'm proud of you, and am looking forward to watching you grow into the man God created you to be.



 Praying for you daily, and love you forever.



Three FIVE things I'm thankful for:

1. These people (below): 




2. Lovely tea break with a friend in her garden this afternoon, while my home was being shown again for the eleventy hundredth time.

3. A good decent visit with my dad this evening. I at least got all his meds into him. :) Took an hour, and alot of creative thinking, but I won.  (My mom met with his doctor this afternoon, and she shared her concerns; he seems depressed, he's stopped eating, he talks of dying, he's refusing his meds, he's choking and gagging on phlegm build-up in his throat  ...) and he assured her this is all very normal and will even out shortly. He's on a new med, and it takes awhile to kick in. In the meantime, we're not to worry - everything is under control. And then he sat next to my dad on the bed, and said, "Peter? I'm looking after you. And believe me, I can keep you alive for many, many, MANY more years." 

So there's that.

4. Cheap movies at the Clova. Saw Spiderman tonight... such a fun movie. And, while it may seem like I'm bragging, but I'm totally not, Clint and/or Drew sure look alot like Peter Parker. It was a little like watching my own kid on the screen. Especially all that hopping and jumping and whatnot.

5. My boy? My baby? Is now 18. I'm so thankful for him. And all the joy he's brought into my life.

Shalom,
