Fifty years ago today I became a father for the first time. The big moment happened about 7:30 on Friday morning. We named him Mark and from that day till this we have been proud of him. He has always honored us and blessed us with his kind demeanor and wisdom beyond his years. Today his mother and I honor him, a son who never kept us awake at night wondering where he was or what he was doing, a son who became a father and led his family by example, a life that has become a light in his world, a light reaching to Haiti and beyond, a good teacher and writer and most important, a follower of Christ. Happy Birthday son!

"For he's a jolly good fella..." and "a chip off the old block", too,I'd say. Congratulations Mark. I celebrate your life with your proud parents.
