8 Years to the day...

Eight years to the day... my wife and I's first child would be eight year old. Since then the Lord has blessed us with 4 wonderful, healthy children. But this was not t be for Ezri, our first child. Ezri's due date was May 25th, 2001. However, Ezri's life ended just six weeks after conception, although Ezri's mother and I did not find out for another six weeks after that. To many, what we lost was not even a baby, but we know that it was, that it was a child unique in all creation.

So on this day, eight years later, while I rejoice in the four children God has blessed us with here, and revel in their exploits as we watch them grow, I look forward to that day when our whole family can be reunited, when Ezri can meet Ezri's three brothers and sister. What a day that will be as we rejoice at the feet of our King.

God bless you everyone, and God bless you Ezri. No daddy still has not forgotten you. Not now, not ever.
