“Dad! Dad? Can I have some 'samanfals'?”
I learned yesterday how much Chance enjoyed partaking of the samples at Costco. Who knew? You never know what a child will find exciting or important. He spent the day before catching grasshoppers, Daddy Longlegs, and “criggeds.” Exciting…priceless.
I’ll tell you what I find important: family—two daughters that amaze me with their beauty and singing ability; a son who can hit the fairway by rimming a golf-ball off a basketball hoop into a rain gutter; and another son who just learned how to ride a bike and swim before beginning kindergarten.
This is an emotional time for me. We just returned from a trip to South Dakota, where Chance got sick four years ago. I couldn’t bear to take him with us this time. This is my birthday weekend. When you read the book you will learn about my best birthday gift ever—my son’s second chance on life.
I expect to have our book in hand within weeks; the launch party is scheduled for September 12, 2009. Stay tuned; I can’t wait to share my whole story with you!
—Stay safe! Kip
