becoming a dad after losing dad - 25 years ago
DESCRIPTION
When my brother Jim called on Saturday 8/18/90 with the tragic news about Dad, Theresa began experiencing contractions in her 36th week of pregnancy. Doctors said it was a stress-related false alarm, but after traveling from Baltimore to Norwalk early on the 19th, we welcomed JRN, III on Monday the 20th. Back in 1990, The Hour was an evening newspaper with no Sunday edition. When they called the house Monday morning for info on Dad, my brother mentioned Jack's birth to the writer. Amazingly, his birth announcement ran on the same page as his grandfather's obituary with his birthday as the dateline - 8/20/90. Reading this article twenty-five years later, the quotes from friends and co-workers about my Dad warm my heart and move me to tears. Remembering the circumstances of our son's early arrival strengthens my faith in the God of all comfort (Matthew 5:4)TRANSCRIPT
