Counting My Blessings

1. Her name is Torrie; born when I was barely twenty-one; Making me a father when my adult life had just begun. 2. His name is Tyler; the first born of my boys; He came into the world smiling, adding to my joys. 3. His name is Nolan; always saying the cutest things; For the next twenty years, these were the total of my blessings. 4. He came much later, through an adoption agency; Spencer is my last child’s name – all of them completing me.
