HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN
Coming 6 weeks early we were told that you might not survive. You were early as usual. You have been a joy to us for 28 years and the christian man that you have become only makes us love you more. You have had your share of bumps but you have stayed committed to God. What a example to pass on to your children. Sorry this Birthday message is late, but with your father in the hospital for the past week my brain would just not function. Thank you for your love and support this past week. We love you.

James' 30th Birthday - 30 years of memories

30 years of memories

- hours of playing glub glub (golf clubs), catch and basketball
- you dancing in your feeted p.j.'s
- Friday night - mattress night, dropping you off at the wrong baseball field

I've watched your inner strength and character while dealing with tourette's, the ADHD, the baseball injuries, the breakup with your first girlfriend, you as a husband, you parenting Payton with autism and Logan and Jackson with their own needs, the job loss.......

Now look at you - God brought you a lovely, amazing partner for life in Kristy, 3 beautiful children and a growing walk with Him experiencing more of His love and His grace.

Seek Him first, pursue Him, draw near to Him, enjoy Him, talk to Him often and watch as He draws nearer to you and as He completes the good work that He has begun in you life.

Thirty years ago I had no idea I could love a child so much, that I could be so proud of a child - my child, my joy - James - continue to do life well with Jesus.

Love, Dad
P.S. Sorry for the length of this - you know me and my many words.
