| while Rach has been gone from this life for 2 years and almost 6 months, yesterday marked her 3rd birthday absent from the life that started such an annual observation. an annual observation this dad truly enjoyed. in raising the kids, i never made the twins share important things, including birthday cakes. i'd always, therefore, make 2 cakes each dec 10. it was a fun and special part of their upbringing and my experience as a dad raising the babies i'd asked God for. adding to the specialness of 2 cakes was a moment i caught on video (i need to get this added to her website) where, while filming, i asked Rachael, "how come you are 4 years old and Alan is 4 years old, too? how does that work?" without hesitation, she answered, "it's because we have 2 birffday cakes!" well, i've yet to be able to make just one cake on this day. we have a good, fun and upbeat celebration for her twin brother, Alan, who is doing awesome in the Lord, i might add, as is his older brother, too. (sooooo pleased and blessed to report as such) but i just haven't been able to make only one cake. i still miss my girl like crazy. what tough duty this daughterless journey is. thank you all, her friends, for your continued prayers. but thank you, too, for your own witness..for the light of Jesus that continues to shine forth from you. may it always. in the name of Jesus
