Abby's Fifth Birthday
Abigail is my oldest daughter. It was close to 2 a.m. on February 08, 2001 when Michelle went into labor with Abby. The moon was full and a heavy snowstorm with snowflakes the size of half dollars decided to appear. Abby already understood how important it is to make a grand entrance. Her first birthday was on the same day as the Olympics Games began in Salt Lake City.
There are so many reasons as to why I have thrown myself into political service, but I can truly say that Abby's birth was the real catalyst for the direction my life is taking.
She came to us after ten years of marriage and eight years of trying to be parents. We often call her our miracle. Michelle tells me that Abby is my angel, a statement I agree with. Happy Birthday Abby, thank you for coming to our family.
