Another Birthday in absentia

Yesterday was Mikola's 5th birthday. Last year at this time, we thought he would be with us now. God, please grant us patience.

We will celebrate on Monday, when Ruslan returns from his trip to Texas. It will be the third time that our family will celebrate his birthday, but it's been longer for our five children. They last saw Kola when he one year old--still a babe in arms.

We think about him a lot and pray for him every day.
