You knew it was coming!

On this day, November 10, 1992

Jacob Daniel was born to me at 7:47 pm at Tucson medical center with my twin sister by my side. He weighed in at 8 pounds 8 1/2 ounces and was 22 1/4 inches long. He had the longest fingers I have ever seen on a new born and I remember thinking that it would be cool if he grew up to play the piano or basketball. He had strawberry blond hair and big blue eyes and the cutest little cry. These are the things that I remember of the beautiful little boy that I blessed another family with.

My little sister Jill calls me every year on November 10th to make sure that I am ok. EVERY YEAR!!!!! I always look forward to her call, no, it's not the only time she calls....But it is the most special. I love you Jill and I think that it is so cute that you didn't want to have your baby today, even though you are miserable. You are very special to me..I hope you know that.

Happy Birthday to my little man.....Where ever you are. I love you Jake!
