Celebrating Jason

Today is my baby brother's birthday. I enjoy using the term "baby brother", because he stands about a foot taller than I, and in many ways he's much more grown up than I'll ever be.

He was the first one of us siblings to find and marry his spouse, and he has two great sons who are having the best childhood any kid could hope for, thanks to their dad and mom. He works harder than I've ever dreamed of to provide for his family, and yet he still manages to spend loads of quality time with all of them.

Jason is a master of capitalizing on opportunity, and this skill enabled him to sing opera in Rome, travel the US with our other brother John as part of their music ministry, and parlay many other such youthful adventures into a professional career that gives his family a comfortable and happy lifestyle.

He sets a great example for his children, following the example set by our father, and I'm lucky to have him for a brother.

Happy Birthday, Jason! Love you!

What a wonderful tribute to your "baby brother" You kids have given us the very best gift you ever could by the love and appreciation you show your siblings. We are so comforted to know you will love and take care of each other after we have "moved on" Of course, what's not to love... you are the BEST siblings EVER!!

Love you!!
