Happy 14th Birthday Jacob!. Growing up I always referred to you as my Texas Tornado, because it seemed you always left a wake of destruction where ever you had been. As you got older, it was difficult to keep up with you, always on the move and blowing and going. Well, that came to an abrupt halt 4 weeks ago, when you broke your femur as you overshot a ski jump landing. Going through all the pain, ambulance ride, a rod that runs from hip to knee, an overnight hospital stay and countless hours of laying in bed, unable to do simple tasks, you have prevailed! The memories you unintentionally created as you soared through the air that day! I can say without a doubt, that the last few weeks have been one of the SWEETEST seasons of my life, as I have had the privilege of serving you and meeting the most basic of needs. The crutches have temporarily slowed you down, but I know it won't last long. You are crushing PT and on schedule to hit the football field late summer! So looking forward to the return of my tornado and all God has in store for you this next year. Happy Birthday Jbird!
