It is with great pleasure that I tell you that my son, Allen Vander Meulen IV, was born on December 9 at 1:15am. As for his vital statistics, his weight was 7 lbs, 12 oz and he is 20.5 inches long.
“Junior” is a very happy, peaceful baby boy – very much like my daughter was at that age. In fact, about the only thing dimming the beauty and wonder of this occasion is that the relationship with my daughter is still broken.
I very much want her little brother to get to know her – I am certain he will grow up to be as fine and wonderful a person as she is. I will be just as proud of him and love him no less (and no more) than I am proud-of and love my daughter.
The Here and the Hereafter
