Dear Wisdom, when we discovered that we are expecting you in the summertime in Winnipeg, we were shocked, surprised, and nauseas : } I was working on a renovation team gutting a friend's house, Matt and the kids were getting re-acquainted and inhabiting the local park, we were applying for jobs in Africa that we weren't getting, we were getting used to Canada again, we were making new friends (and missing old ones), and praying that something more long-term would fall into place by September.
Unlike the other two bambinos, you dear one came wholly unplanned. We were/are excited but no longer naive to the reality that growing a child from a mustard seed-size to at least age 6 and more likely 16 or 17 is a full-time job whatever way we share it between each other and our community. We needed WISDOM. We need WISDOM. And so we call you WISDOM.
