Errol's will turn one on Thursday, March 8, 2007. There were so many times this past year when I never thought Errol would live to see a year: his birth, those nights in the NICU, his open heart surgeries, the first time Owen held him, when his lung collapsed, his RTS diagnosis, and the times he turned blue at school (it happened again today, but we are learning not to panic). We are so extraordinarily fortunate to have him, but it wasn't just a matter of luck. We could never have survived this year without the circle of light with which you surrounded us. Errol's has given us many, many things, but besides the joy of knowing our sweet boy, perhaps the most precious gift his life has brought us is the faith he has given us in the goodness of people, of life. Everyone who has hugged, consoled, held, bailed out, fed, and loved our family is invited. We've never had more to celebrate. Errol's first birthday party will be Friday, March 9, from eight pm until two at our house. Bring a memory of Errol's first year, some Kleenex, and your dancin' shoes. Thank you.
