Tomorrow we are having Ian's BIG birthday bash. He has never had a birthday party, so we have invited a whole bunch of folks over who helped us pray him home.
The boys were telling Ian about his party (he has no idea what to expect about a party at home), so the boys told him that lots of people were coming to his party. He asked who was coming? The boys said that "everyone was coming!". His eyes lit up with glee and then he asked, "Bible school china friend coming too?". His face was so excited, and then he even remembered his name, "Rob coming to me party tomorrow?"
Sadly I had to answer, no Ian he wishes he could come but Rob won't be here tomorrow. Deflated he simply said, "OK". And we then started naming some other people who would get to be here.
The ironic part is that without Rob, Ian would not be having a party this year. Oh how we wish Rob (Ian's advocate from Bring Me Hope) could be here to spend the day with us. Rob lives in Ireland. I hope he knows how much he stills means to Ian. We are forever grateful to our missing guest :)
