For Jimbo, My Rock!







Jim, you are the best husband and father anyone could ask for! This has been a difficult pregnancy for the whole family, and you have definitely stepped up to the plate. You started a new job this summer and are excelling in your new position, and you did all of this while being an outstanding father to Bonnie and picking up most of the slack left behind by your wife who just wasn't able to move as quickly or do as much as she usually did to keep the family running.

You provided for Bonnie, the Quads and me in every way and we are so lucky to have you as the glue that holds us all together!

The last two weeks have been especially stressful for you, as you suddenly became a single father to a bright and active two-year-old while your wife was having a mini-vacation at the hospital reading and knitting at her leisure! You handled your single-fatherdom with grace as you shuttled back and forth from home to daycare, work, and the hospital and back, over and over again. All of this falling upon you just two weeks before your board exams.

Your exams are tomorrow, and I know this has been weighing heavily on you. Even though you have not been able to study nearly as much as you would have liked, I have every confidence that you will do well!

You've earned a huge reward in heaven for all you have done. Your perseverance under a great deal of pressure has not gone unnoticed. I am VERY lucky to have been chosen both by you and by God to be your wife and mother to your children. We are all so lucky to have you in our lives. The depth of our love for you cannot be measured.
