The Happiest Day of My Life
Posted to David's Facebook December 19, 2013 ·
After being told that I might not ever be able carry children - the Lord gave me a miracle!
You were my firstborn - followed one minute later by your sister. You weighed 8-1/2 pounds, and your sister was 7-1/2. After losing almost 60lbs on the table - I promptly went into shock, and if your grandmother was not there - I would of lost my life. Her quick response alerted the medical staff - and as you have certainly noticed, I am still here.
They said we set the record at Northwest community hospital that day, for the biggest twins ever born in that facility. So not only were you a miracle - you were also record-setting miracles!
Speaking of your grandmother - one day, get her to tell you about how the waiting room was packed with people from our church , Auntie Patty, and Auntie Nancy - how the Pastor LEAPED over couch when they found out that you were HERE!
Nothing has changed - I have had the honor and the privilege of watching you grow into fine young adults. You are an awesome young man, father and husband, and you continue to amaze, delight and (occasionally terrify!!) me with how wonderful you are. We shared an incredible journey - You grew into a handsome, strong beautiful young man. I will always be grateful that the Lord sent you into my life.
I finish with this . . .
Your smile - made life worth living. Your sense of humor was there from the day you spoke your first words. The joy of the Lord, the laughter of heaven was and always will be, part of your soul. I miss this so very much.
You left a legacy - a beautiful wife and precious children. I love them like they are my own, I will always be here for them.
I am blessed and honored for every moment that I got to spend with you - even if it was only for a few short moments that went by way too fast. I KNOW I will see you again - but this time, it will be forever.
