These last 28 years,
We've been watching our sons grow,
and we've had our share of worries,
as they've had their share of problems,
and together it's all gone into making us a family.

When my wife and I decided to start a family,
we often thought we would have at least
a son and a daughter,
and God graced us with three boys,...
because, I think, He wanted to test us,
to see if we could handle such a task, as parents.
God, you see, does have a sense of humor.

Well, we've done pretty well,
as you can see here,
with our oldest there with his new bride,
and his brothers here with him,
all of them making us proud.

And all I want to say at this time,
to our son, Joshua, is...
"Thank you,
for bringing your mother and me
a daughter.
Heather, Joshua...
We love you both."
