Daniel You are Three (months)
Dear Daniel,
This is your daddy writing to you on your three months birthday on 16 Nov 05. You have been with mom and I every day since you came, except for the brief spell in the KKH when you were down with jaundice. It's been a roller coaster ride -- sometimes, we wonder how we survived it all. I am sure you must wonder how you made it too. =)
Now that you are a big boy, mature and ready for the world (after all, you have finally mastered the art of crying and smiling when you are pooping), Daddy would like to tell you more about this world you are growing up in. Mommy and I put the donkey and dinousaur on your head to teach you one very important fact of life -- no matter how small and cute you are, there's always some people who wants to sit on you and make you look rather silly. This is good, actually, cos it makes you humble. Yes, you're not *that* good looking after all.
As you grow each day by the mm and mgs, you will learn that there is really so much that you can do other than lying in your cot and kicking around. You can do a lot of good or a lot of evil. Mommy and I pray every day that you will choose to do good with the gifts and talents that God has given you. I hope you will remember this as we discipline you, teaching you not to electrocute yourself by sticking your finger into the socket to shut down the fridge; or yanking the hair out of the pet rabbit we will get you one day. We hope that you will continue to be happy and cheerful, and remember to always "dang yew" in your own special smiley ways as others round you show you the bright light of humanity.
As for the donkeys and the dinosaurs of this world who try to sit on you, always remember that you can always ignore them, no matter how silly you look. They don't change you one bit, if you don't let them ... =)
Love,
Daddy

Hi Bim,
This may seem somewhat bizarre, but I kind of had to write this. I live in Canada. My name is "Bim". My wife's name is "Ruth". We are generally referred to as "Bim and Ruth". I have been a Christian for 33 years (I'm 48). My wife and I met at Bible College in 1976 and got married in 1978. I'm actually an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church. We have two children ("Tira" - 17 and "Tayson" - 15). They both love God and are remarkable children. This is likely due to the love they've grown up with. You and Ruth certainly display a great love for your children. They're going to grow up to be great people.
God Bless you, Bim and Ruth.
