Dear family and friends
Today was another big day for Grayson. On day two of his birthday weekend, he had a party! Austin and Xixi did a wonderful job of organizing a group of his high school and college friends to come up to the residence for a pool party and BBQ. We all had a great time!
Pictures can tell a better story than I ever could.
Although we had been telling Grayson for a few weeks, even as late as yesterday, that there would be a party today, he didn't remember. So effectively, we had a surprise party for him! Here is a picture of Grayson arriving to see all of his friends waiting for him.
Before lunch and swimming we took a group picture. Regina and I were the photographers, in case you couldn't find us in the picture.
Other shots – Birthday cake; Grayson being silly with Ria's hat; the Prep gang; opening gifts; frolicking in the pool; Grayson's smile says it all!
Twenty five years ago doctors told us that Grayson's heart condition was inoperable and that it was incompatible with life. They were in error. Twenty five years later we still give God thanks for every single day.
Pax!
Brant and Regina
What wonderful pictures of friendship and love in action!

Your group pictures feature some of the Prep people of whom I'm most proud. The Reed boys included, of course! And after being gifted by that much kindness and affection, Grayson has ALREADY taken a turn for the better!
ReplyDeleteA happy birthday indeed!
Just as you say... Grayson's smile says it all.
