Yesterday, the school where my daughter-in-law teaches, had a baby shower for her. It was such a joy to share that experience with her, and a special experience it was.
Phyllis and my son Chet have been married for 12 1/2 years. They both LOVE children and the children love them. They have wanted children for a long time, but God has had them on hold. In a few weeks they will leave to pick up 16-month-old Matthew Wyatt in China.
At the end of the shower, Phyllis thanked everybody. With tears in her eyes she said, "I just can't believe this is for me!" How many, many showers she has attended over the years and this time the shower was for her. I cant' even begin to imagine the joy she felt! I know the joy I feel as the grandma-to-be of this very blessed little boy. I also think of how many lives my two wonderful children, Chet and Phyllis have influenced. I have no doubt that they will be great parents and will continue to go on influencing the lives of other children. May God bless them! We love you Chet, Phyllis and Matthew!
