When you share an anniversary with a birthday...

When you share an anniversary with a birthday

you might have to wait a day to get recognition.

May you always keep your marriage strong so others see the Lord through it and through you.

And now for 14

We weren't there the day you were born. We weren't there to hold you in the NICU when you only had the nurses to do so.

But we came as soon as we could.

I will never forget the phone call.

I will never forget all 5 children crowded around me, waiting to see if it was finally the call.

I will never forget saying yes.

I will never forget our first glimpses of you and the nurses saying that you were the best baby in there which broke my heart because it likely meant that you didn't get a lot of attention.

No one asked us for ID. We just said, "We're John and Cindy King," and we pointed to your name on the isolette. The nurse handed you to us and you drew us in.

There has always been a light that has drawn others to you, just like that first day we met you. There has always been hope in your smile.


I know will always spread light and hope and smiles wherever you go. That is a God-given gift that can't be taken away.

Happy birthday!
