Welcoming Mike!
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 45 secondsToday our youngest son turned 36! The night before he was born, Jan and I monitored the contractions. As they intensified, I suggested we call the midwife, and Jan kept saying no, “Not yet, we have time!”
I finally insisted. When we arrived at Methodist Hospital, the staff moved Jan to the birthing room, and Mike arrived within twenty minutes.
They handed him to me, and I kissed his forehead and then reached over and kissed Jan as I transferred our son into her arms. That morning’s love that filled the birthing room was enough to light up all of Brooklyn!

Happy Birthday Mike!
Estimated reading time: 0 minutes, 45 secondsWhen the sun rose, I made phone calls to Jan’s family and mine. Jon had stayed with her parents overnight.
I drove to NJ to pick him up. When we returned, Jan was resting, and Mike was in the nursery. After visiting Jan, I took Jon to the nursery to see his brother, and I moved a chair over so Jon could see him.
Jon looked at me and said, today is Mike’s birthday. I said yes. Tears flowed down my cheeks. We were a family of four who was very much in love! Jon and I sang happy birthday to Mike.
