• Happy Birthday, Dimitri

  Another birthday for us.  Dimitri’s birthday was the one most likely to have a party.  It seemed to take me a couple of months to get moving on them.  We often celebrated all the birthdays at once on his.  What a fun kid he was, and what a great man he has become. 

  One of my favorite memories of Dimitri was when he was five years old.  His little sister was about 8 months old and it was around Christmas time.  I woke up one morning to find him in her crib with her.  He was sitting cross-legged in a corner singing to her while she laughed and kicked.  His song was “Joy to the world, the Lord is fun!”  I’ve always said he defaults to a good time. 

  He was such a fun baby, I prayed that I would be able to share him with my family who lived a thousand miles away at that time.  I felt selfish having him all to myself.  Little did I know that my prayer would be answered by his going to Europe to live and work. God’s family is all over the world, you know.

  Happy Birthday, D.  We all love you and I am glad we get our share too.  May this year bring great blessings!
