Jeremiah,
I am not that good at writing journal entries that are very heartfelt. I usually just present information about you and stuff. This entry has a little more depth to it. Andrea and I are about to leave to take a mission trip to mexico. We leave tomorrow morning and will be gone for 9 days. I know statistically we are more likely to have an accident driving to the airport then on the plane. But I can’t help get worried. I’m sure nothing will happen, but I want you know how much you mean to your mother and I. When we leave you at the airport, you mother will be crying and it will be very emotional. We never knew that having children could mean so much to us. You really are the joy and meaning to our lives. Jeremiah we love you so much, I could never really express it in a cheesy blog like this. I can’t wait to watch you grow up and continue playing ball with you and watching you run around laughing and having a good time. This will be a long 9 days. I want you to know that we do things like this because God has called us to and because life is about more than what we want out of it. You have to learn to always give to other, whether it is you money, time or lives. The one way to have meaning is to be grounded in Christ and to help others that are not as fortunate as yourself. You are the cutest most important thing in our lives. I can’t wait to get back and cuddle with you
Your Father,
Rick
