Dear Glenn and Pam,
We are *so* very sorry about Micah. You will probably be amazed to learn
that Nathan's death was also on November 20th (1995). You know they were
only a month apart in age...Nathan's birthday was October 6, 1981. Kraig
and I were so taken with Micah during that first Menkes conference we
attended (was it 1985?). He was much like Nathan in personality...joyous
and giggly and excited about being alive....and all the other kids there
were so unaware of their surroundings. We were blessed above anything any
medical people led us to expect, weren't we? Those two boys were such a
joy, not only to us, but to our families and friends, too. God truly gave
us a great gift in them, and for that we will always be so grateful, and
looking toward the day when we will be with them again.
We're going to try to call you...don't know if we can find your phone
number...but we DO understand your pain, and we will keep you in our
prayers, especially tomorrow as you celebrate his precious life. Eighteen
years is such a long time to live with this wretched disease, but not
nearly long enough, is it?
Love,
Jennifer and Kraig
