One year ago today one of the biggest and the greatest milestones of my life occurred. My son was born at 7:30 in the morning. My wife and I decided to name him Evan Lincoln. Evan means "By God's Grace" or "a Gift from God",and Lincoln after the greatest American who ever lived. Evan means so much to us because we didn't think he would come into our lives.
My wife and I wanted to have a child together since we met. I have three wonderful children from a previous marriage and Holly has a rambunctious daughter from a previous marriage. Before my last cancer operation, Holly made me promise that I would come back to her, i.e. wake up from the operation. Her love and support brought me through. However, months went by and still no baby.
Holly was checked out and was fine, so we chalked up our difficulty getting pregnant to all of my operations. Just when we got to the point where we decided to look into adoption God gave us a gift and nine months later he was here and for the last 365 days and for every day hereafter I will thank God for this gracious gift.
