Josiah is one! I can’t believe it. Yesterday was his first birthday. I think of what I was doing a year ago today- I was chewing my fingernails off because Judy FORGOT to call us when she was born. Notice I said she? Josiah was, by all accounts & a faulty ultrasound reading, a girl. So on April 30th we got the news that she was a he and he was in the NICU. That set off a rollercoaster ride of a few weeks that y’all may remember.
In other news- April is almost over! Whew. I survived by the grace of God and maybe didn’t drive too many people crazy. Others might tell a different tale. I don’t know. April is hard for me- I struggle with memories and pain that never quite goes away and I maybe don’t always deal with things well. I fear that I will never stop feeling that soft downy head against my cheek & I fear even worse that I will. Well….April IS almost over. As we stood out on the dock to release Abbys ballon Tuesday Les prayed and thanked God that He is a God that binds the broken heart & restores the years that the locusts have eaten. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

I know what we can do for his “gotcha day.” We can make shirts like those ones that they had when Hussein was captured, with a picture of Josiah’s face below the words: ‘WE GOT HIM!’
Or not.
