Awakened to the chaos this morning that is my household: two dogs barking to go outside and two kids engaged in the epic struggle of\u00a0 the love-hate relationship they have with each other called brotherhood.\u00a0 The difference today?\u00a0 The battle involved a nine year-old and a THREE year-old.\u00a0 Andrew has left the terrible two’s and has engaged in the tyrannical three’s.\u00a0 Yeah, I’m exaggerating quite a bit, but…well, maybe not that much.\u00a0 All I can say is, in spite of the disturbances of the peace, I am one blessed guy who has two great kids!\u00a0 So, today, I celebrate the day this wonderful kid name Andrew David Price came into our lives three short years ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To Drew:<\/p>\n

To say that I’m proud of you would do how I feel about you such an injustice.\u00a0 Even when you’re “naughty,” you make me smile…usually.\u00a0 Your laugh is infectious and your quirky personality is a joy.\u00a0 In short, I love you so much.<\/p>\n

On the one hand, I can’t wait to see what you will become and see all that God has for you, while on the other, I want you to slow down<\/em>!\u00a0 You are growing so fast and I am thankful to God for all that you are and the health and energy He has given you, but I realize how fleeting these moments are.\u00a0 It seems like yesterday I was writing to Jacob on his 3rd birthday and now it’s your turn.\u00a0 Sigh.<\/p>\n

I want you to know that as long as the Lord has me here I will always<\/em> be here for you.\u00a0 I am on your side.\u00a0 I am in your corner and you can always come to me with anything.\u00a0 My greatest prayer for you is that, as you grow, you will trust the Lord with all your heart and won’t lean on your own understanding.\u00a0 That in all your ways you will acknowledge Him as Lord of your life, and watch and follow as He directs your steps.<\/p>\n

I love you, Andrew, with all of my heart.\u00a0 Happy birthday, Son.<\/p>\n

Daddy<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
