Intermission - Please Welcome Calvin Montgomery
I am taking a break from my series on “Writing in Truth and Love” for the opportunity to introduce you to the newest member of the Moore family. Calvin Montgomery was born at 3:26 a.m. the morning of April 17th. It has been much more work than we ever expected but much more fun as well. I am so proud of my wife for her focus, determination and perseverance in labor and delivery. We also could not have done it without the help of our amazing L&D nurse at Missouri Baptist Hospital. Those nurses work so hard and have a very difficult job.
I finished my letter to Cal the night before he was born. It was eight pages long and I plan to give it to him on his 16th birthday. My wife and I are also putting together a journal that we will present to him at some point later on in his life. Our prayer is that we will realize how blessed we are to have a child, knowing that not everyone is so lucky, and that we would not take him for granted - especially when times are tough.



The last few months have been eventful for Moore. In October, his grandfather passed away. Two days later, Moore’s lung inexplicably collapsed, and he was in the hospital for a week. The day after he was released, his job was eliminated during a corporate down-sizing. And a month after that, his pregnant wife, Ariana, ended up in the hospital due to complications. She’s on bed-rest until April when their baby boy is due. The couple just moved here from Los Angeles to take a job with fitness equipment manufacturer, CYBEX. All this got Moore thinking about his own mortality. "We were sitting at my grandpa’s death bed for a week, thinking he would die any minute," says Moore. "Not knowing if he could hear us, we kept trying to talk to him because he couldn’t speak. Because of all the tears, none of us could speak either. And I thought at that moment, ‘If we were only disciplined enough to tell people how we feel earlier.’ And writing is such a great medium for that."

I didn’t agree with you first, but last paragraph makes sense for me…
