Happy Birthday, Rachel!

Twenty-seven years ago today my belief in miracles was transformed into utter conviction. Rachel, our blessed gift from God, has every day since her birth affirmed the miracle of life. While she is extraordinarily precious to her mother and me, Rachel's miraculous life is not unique to her. Every life is irreplaceable. Every life is an inimitable miracle. I thank God for the privilege of being a part of Rachel and Rebecca's lives. The miracle continues as my little girl now becomes a mother herself (my money's on Independence Day). It is impossible for me to describe the inexplicable joy that Rachel brings me, so it will simply have to suffice to wish her all happiness for the rest of her miraculous life.
