When I think back, I had no idea how Todd's life would impact so many people.
On this next move, we lived in a duplex. Our next-door neighbors had no children. They were older than us and had decided they didn't want to have children, until Todd entered their lives!
Jim and Sherry loved Todd! Jim set up a train set in the basement, just for Todd. Sherry made Todd a quilt. I think I still have it! They asked if Todd could go to church with them. We didn't care, but we certainly were not going.
Todd and I liked to dance in our living room. One week, after Todd had gone to church with Jim and Sherry, Todd came in and announced, "I couldn't dance! They didn't have a violin." I think he meant guitar, but it was funny!
Jim and Sherry said it was because of Todd that they changed their minds and decided to have children. They eventually had a daughter and two sons. Now they are grandparents and even great-grandparents.
I have stayed in touch with Jim and Sherry for all of these years. I know God arranged for us to live next door to each other for this time in our lives.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
