She inwards with her mother by her side, observing extremely expectant, just when we thought she wouldn’t.

She declared, “This baby is meant to be yours.” I was invited aback. After much prayer, we received a unqualified “yes.” We took a plane to Missouri six weeks later, where we saw the birth of our second son, Ellis. Once more, I held and smooched Jason’s small hands before he cut the string.
