Dear Jeff and Songmei,

Dad and I are so very happy and relieved to know that Drake has been born. He is so handsome, and has the sweetest voice. I had such a hard time sleeping last night, I was praying for a safe and quick delivery, finally at 4:24 I went downstairs and turned on the computer and saw,to my delight, that he had been born. What a beautiful sight to see him and to hear his little video. I will always remember that special, quiet time ,when I Iearned of his birth. I called to Dad and he wa down to the livingroom in a minute to see our newest grandchild.

Kevin filled us in on some of the details and we are praying for Songmei's rapid recovery. It will be so special when we can talk with you and hear more of Drake's special story ! We love him already and look forward to the time when we can hold him, you and Songmei in our arms. It has been quite a day, Great Grandma Bernice and Great Grandma Irene are so happy for you, as well as all the rest of our family. Our love to all, you will be such wonderful parents to Drake.

Love, Mom and Dad
