Birfday!




Two years ago, I was standing at a pay phone in Malindi, Kenya, receiving the news that my second grandson, Luke Patton Williamson, had been born. It is hard to imagine that it has been two years since this little one came into our lives. He is so special and so precious to his mom and dad, his brother, his Mimi and Papaw and Uncle Mark and Meghan. Luke is one of those children that is rough and tumble, but gentle and compassionate. He is intense, but laid-back. In short, he is exactly who God made him to be, Luke Patton...my grandson. He has already brought so much joy to his family!
This morning I called to wish him a happy birthday. When his mom put him on the phone, I said "Who is having a birthday?" He answered excitedly, "Birfday! Birfday!" He then proceeded to sing Happy Birthday to me! We have a little work to do on the concept of birthdays!
Luke, I want you to always remember, no matter what happens, you have a Papaw who loves you and even more importantly, you have a Father in Heaven who loves you more than you can know! However, today, justy know that it is your birthday and I love you! Eat a cupcake for Papaw!
