"Blessed.Happy"

I promised myself not to cry today. Amazingly I haven't. I think partly because I have been reminded this week to be thankful for every second of life. My heart aches when I see my last baby growing up, but how thankful I am that I have the opportunity to watch him grow up.

So Happy Birthday my little Asher. Last year when you were born we were moving out of our house.  Life was uncertain and I am sure that most of our friends, and probably some of our family, seriously questioned our sanity. But just like your name "Asher" (blessed/happy), we have been just that. You, along with your brothers and sister, are truly a blessing. You were the perfect addition to God's faithful provision for our family this crazy year. We love you.
