David’s 🎂

My nephew is legally an adult. I remember when we found out Heike was pregnant, much less the day he was born. He is a brilliant kid, not necessarily at school stuff, but he lights up a room. He is social, fun to be around. He helps out his grandparents. He is always willing to lend a hand, and he is nice.

In a world like the one we have today, a nice person is rare. He stops to help people, he says kind things to people who try and fail in sports and in life. He is empathetic, and although he doesn’t always succeed, he tries to do things right. He is a thinker, someone who wants to understand the world around him.

Our David is only 18; reaching, learning, climbing into the man he will one day become. He makes mistakes, he owns them, and he learns. We are so proud of him, of who he is becoming, and who he has already become.

Happy Birthday David!
