He Ran Up The Stairs To Tell Me!

At the age of 15, I was asleep in my room.

It was about 5 a.m. when I was awakened by loud footsteps racing up the stairs.

Those footsteps were my Dad’s, who burst into my room and said, “Tom, we have a girl!”

Yes, after my mom had given birth to five boys, at age 39, she finally had a daughter.

I did remind Dad that he NEVER ran up the stairs to announce another boy!

My mother had a saying she used upon certain occasions. It was, “Let joy be unconfined!”

The birth of our sister was one of those occasions.

I hope you have experienced UNCONFINED JOY during the course of your life!

Rejoice!
