It's May the Fourth....

Did you know today is May 4th...

My kids would say, "May the fourth be with you"!


I would say...

Happy Birthday John Preston!


Except he's not here...


It doesn't seem right to celebrate without him...

It doesn't seem right to enjoy cake and ice cream...


I wonder if he even knows today is his birthday?

I wonder if he will be celebrated today?


My guess is no...

But next year? Go ahead and mark your calendar.


We will be celebrating our sweet boy AT HOME!!!


We will celebrate his birth....

We will celebrate his life...

We will hug him and kiss him and tell him we love him and that he will never celebrate another birthday without his family.

For years now, we have requested "no gifts" for our kids' birthday parties. They have all they need and more and we truly have just wanted friends to celebrate with us...no gifts required.

But, for John Preston's eighth birthday, I'd like to make an exception.

We have many upcoming expenses regarding adoption, but probably the most important is his plane ticket home.  

We will get on that plane with our boy and he will...from that point forward....always know the love of a family.

In honor of John Preston's eighth birthday today would you consider donating $8 to his Reece's Rainbow account? 

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.  Thank you for asking us about John Preston when you see us. Thank you for asking us how the process is going.  We are making progress....continuing to wait on our next approval...we know it is all in God's perfect timing.  We are coming sweet boy!

Love,
Jenifer
