My letter to Brooks about their son...

I have the little note Anna sent not long ago...and with the picture of the two of you in Latvia, I pray over you and your son.  I am so delighted for you.  Boys are so incredible!   Sooooooooo on the subject of names:  Yes, no doubt it would be hard to have a name that fits both languages!   I remember 39 years ago when we chose Brian's name there was no particular reason for our choice, except that we really liked the name Brian.  It was rather amusing.  As we waited for him, we kept hearing this name...seems it was a favorite that year for boys.  Brian means virtuous.  Interesting how the name today actually fits who he is.

Anna, I'm praying for your pregnancy...delivery...and health of your wee one.  Oh, what an adventure that awaits you two as parents.  Isn't it, indeed, an awesome thought to consider God choosing you to raise him.  Keep that in mind and never let it leave you.  You will be his advocate.  You will be his comforter.  You will be his example.  You will be his encourager.  You will dry many tears.  You will shed many tears.  You will hug.  You will cuddle. And, best of all, you will have the joy and pleasure of telling him about his heavenly Father and loving Savior.  Bless you as you consider all that lies ahead in this journey.  Can't wait to see pictures of him.  Love and hugs.  Charlie and Gini
