Amazing story.  Funny how good can come from bad for good people.   :salute to you and the missus.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I am choked up and thankful for folks like you.  I am sorry for your loss, but extremely joyful that you 3 connected.  What a story, and thank you for sharing.  All the best to you, mom, and the little 38 driver! :)

I'd say either "Lucky" or "Blessed1".


Hmmm maybe we should all make suggestions. Dan and his Better Half can print them out, select their favorites, then let young Matt pick one out.  :D

I like "Blessed1"   :aok

 Congratulations.  :aok
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

Wow Dan,

You and Cathy are two amazing people. I wish there were more people like you and your wife to spread around.  I wish your family many years of happiness.

Congratulations Dan.

A friend of mine took care of a special needs baby that was a ward of the court. You can imagine what happened, after a few weeks she wasn't about to give him back so she adopted him. I didn't see them for a couple of years until I ran into them grocery shopping, her son, now 3, took one look at me, yelled "Daddy!" and ran down the aisle to me. It was pretty funny since I look nothing like her husband or his birth parents. Never did figure that one out.
