10th
Special Ed
In 1984, I took my 4-year-old son, Josh, with me to drop off his registration paperwork for kindergarten. As I entered the office, I noticed quite a few unopened computer boxes stacked along the wall. As we were waiting our turn in the busy office, a teacher walked through and asked the secretary, “Are those the computers for ‘Special Ed.’?” Just then, Josh perked up and exclaimed with a big smile, “Is it his BIRTHDAY?!”
Today, that vibrant, innovative and petulant son of mine turns 31 years old. He still has the same animated spirit, able to see life in his own special, sometimes quirky way. If you were to ask his wife, Sarah, I’m sure she’d tell you that whatever it is, her life with Josh is never dull.
Josh, your Dad and I want to wish you the happiest birthday today, and tell you that we love you so very much! We are proud of the husband and father you are to your beautiful family and pray for God’s watchful care over you all.
Love you,
Mom
