David (in Ruth’s hat!), Rachel & Ruth, 31 July 2003

HOW DOES A BABY BOY become 27 years old in what appears to have been not much more than 27 minutes? Really. I don’t know the answer. But David Robert, born on the 27th is now 27 – and a devoted father, as protective now of his own wife and children as he was, and has remained, of his sisters. I’m proud of him, and of them. Happy birthday son.
