Luke, 9 months
How can it have been 31 years since that night when you emerged -- in the wee hours of February 24th -- big and healthy and beautiful? I remember laboring hard to birth you in our home, with midwives, our family, and friends in loving attendance. But never has hard work been so richly rewarding to me as when I gave birth to my children. You were and are my beloved son, and I am so very proud of you.
Now you have your own family who have brought so much more joy into my life. I am really grateful for the deep goodness of you; for the challenges we have faced together; for the opportunity to have guided and watched over you as you grew up; and for the wonderful family you are creating with your beautiful Susannah. Amelia and Isaac are happy, smart, curious, fun and loving. I am a happy grammie!
Happy Birthday, Luke. May all your days be happy and fulfilled.
