@StevenBerry turns 18 in about 50 minutes (5th January)

He's an awesome man, friend, brother and son.

From a precious little bundle of just 7lbs 14ozs, he's now become a super fit cross country runner.

We're super proud of what he has already accomplished, and are so excited for the plans God has for him in the future.

He's handled disaster and ruin and serious illnes with elegance and confidence and peace and many other stupendously well rounded qualities.

He's a better man at 18 than I was, because he can cook brilliant tasting meals, clean the house, and he has a godly wisdom that surpasses most people I've met.

He's an utter privilege for us to have raised this far (and that is never over) and while 18 is just another number, and turning 18 is just another day, he is no ordinary 18 year old. He is really rather exceptional.

Happy 18th birthday son!!

Mum and Dad

PS personally I blame his parents for such an awesome upbringing - they must be something proper awesome! 😂😜😃😉☺️
