I ran across this picture the other day and cannot believe how much things have changed and all of the life that has been lived, and how it seems to have gone by so quickly. Jordan was two at the time and loved to keep up with his dad... I used to go into Jordan's room at night to make sure he was covered up, and I remember thinking how small he was, just the day before, it was all for such a short period of time,
I watched as he slowly grew to big for his bed and wonder where time has gone...
Jordan was born the day after Ross' birthday and we have always had their birthday cakes together, sad to say this is the first time in 20 years that they have been apart for their birthdays.
When we talked to Jordan for Christmas he said that Mexico celebrates January 6th pretty big because they believe that it is the day the wisemen came to the Christ child, So tonight they are having cake in a members home for his birthday and I'm sure there will be more celebrating going on! So glad he will not be alone:)
Mom and Dad just called and sang Happy Birthday to Jordan, to me!
Thanks to all of you that have given us money to put into his account for Christmas and his Birthday. He bought himself a new camera, memory card and a portable CD player, he spent about $180.00. and sends his gratitude.
Thanks to all of you that help support him while he is one his mission, whether it be cards, letters, emails, concerns, prayers or money-it is all so overwhelming and we appreciate you so much, you know who you are!:)
So with tears in my eyes and gratitude in my heart, I thank my Heavenly Father for the wonderful blessing he sent to our home 20 years ago, don't know what we would do without our round headed little boy, the leader and example that he has turned out to be. The Lord surely knew which one of our boys to send first, he is so patient and has so much unconditional love for everyone, and has been such a good sport about us learning how to be parents on him!
I love you Jordan and send you the very best Birthday wishes,
May God bless and keep you safe and let you feel our love everyday, but especially today!
Con amor,
Mom
