It's hard to beleive that our daughter Patricia is having her 24th birthday this week. Wow! Where has time gone? You can tell who she was named after, right? We were so happy to bring her home to us. In fact she was such a blessing that imediately following her birth I found a Urologist in Irapuato where we were living and I got a vasectomy. NO MORE KIDS!! Praise God! With all kidding aside Patricia has been daddys' little girl until some punk kid swept her off her feet and took her to San Antonio. Oh well, such is life. I am blessed though, just the other night Patricia called and said that she just wanted to let me know that she loved me. Hmmm, there not much else that can melt a dads heart than to hear those words. As I look back over my years of fatherhood, its so easy to focus on the mistakes that I made. To me its a miracle that Patricia has turned out so well. She is an excellent daughter, wonderful wife (right Cristopher?) and I'm sure that she will be a wonderful mother of her expected child. Do you think that she might return the favor and name her new born child Patrick? Just a thought! I heard someone say that when we raise our kids we are actually raising our grandchildrens parents. Think about that! Isn't it a joy to serve others?
