7 Years

Happy Birthday, Fletcher! 

Last night I watched you sit with your friend Tucker at the hospital and read cards to him that you and your classmates made for him.  You made a card for him and copied Bible verses out of Daddy's Bible (some that were highlighted) for Tucker.  You purposefully walked slowly with him down the hall because you knew he couldn't walk fast because of his surgery.  You let him go first playing Wii.  You were very concerned when his heart monitor flatlined (the sensor had fallen off his finger).  You were so glad to see that your friend was ok. 

We went downstairs to a hospital Christmas party.  Santa was there and after you talked to him he told you that you could pick out a toy.  There were lots of toys.  I said that maybe we could leave the toys there for the sick kids or for them to donate to someone else.  You asked if you could donate something too.  You picked out a scarf, hat and glove set because in the car on the way to the hospital you heard me talking to Mrs. Teresa about how we were gathering coats and hats and gloves for a family who lost everything in a fire.  I said we had found everything except gloves.  You skipped out on a toy so someone you don't even know could have warm gloves.

You have a heart of gold and we are so glad we get to be your mommy and daddy. 

Happy 7th Birthday, Fletcher!

We love you!
