It was four years ago tonight that we received the news about a Valentine's gift that would be the greatest we could ever imagine. It was Wednesday and we came home from church to open our Valentine gifts. As I sat in the chair after a long day, Laura walked over and gave me a card. I opened it and read it. After reading it, I noticed that it was signed "from baby Fuller # 4!" I was shocked, speechless, and simply did not know how to react. I was so shocked, I fell over in the floor and just started laughing. At that point, Laura laid on the floor with me and we just held each other as the emotions began to flow. We were so shocked because we had a 3 year old, 2 year old, and 7 month old at the time. We were excited but did not know how we would be able to function and survive with 4 kids in 4 years. As the pregnancy went forward, we became more and more excited as we anticipated the birth of our 4th born.
When our baby arrived, we were blessed to have a boy and we named him Paul Benjamin Fuller. Now, as I think back over the past 4 years, I can say that Paul is our little blessing. He brings joy to our family that is indescribable to us.
As the baby of our family and as the baby grandchild of both sets of his grandparents, Paul is our Valentine each and every year.
