In 1992, Eric had an opportunity to work in Florida to restore phone service after a hurricane had hit. He was going to be gone for a few months, coming home every second or third week-end. Since our families were close by and our church friends were here if anything happened, Eric made the decision to go.
Our son Andrew was 9 years old during this time and one night I noticed him going into each room before we went to bed. After watching him do this for a few nights, I questioned what he was doing. An elderly person at our church had told Andrew that since his dad was gone, he would be the 'man of the house'. Andrew had taken his duties quite seriously and was going behind me and checking the doors and windows to make sure they were locked.
He still takes those 'man of the house' duties to heart. What a great feeling to know that we have raised him to be a good protector and a good provider.
Andrew, you are a good husband, father and son. We love you very much.
Happy birthday Andrew.
