Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday to my eldest, Mr. B. A lot can be said about the burdens and trials of the first born. First, all the mistakes and experiments are tried out on him. Second, he can never escape the fact that he is the point person - first to be taken down, ruled against, and "put upon". Third, even his nick name "Mr. B" implies expected growth and maturity.

Gladly I can report that all of these things were added to our Mr. B's role in the family. We are not a family to disappoint when it comes to burdens and expectations.

But in truth, B has been a great blessing to all of us. He has been a son that grew to become a respectable man and brother in the faith. He has become a father and husband, not in that order, and a good person to have on point for all of these.

Happy Birthday, Mr. B.
