Christmas of 2005 Amy, Eric, Wesley, and Christian all got sick. Puking up everything they ate. Jaron and I ran from bed to bed changing sheets and getting water and mopping up...stuff.
Luke came by that day, and ended up staying for the next 8 months.
Luke was a senior at Newton High School. He split time living with his Grand Parents and his mother. We knew him from church and he and Eric were close.
He stayed over night that night and then kept staying.
When we moved to Kansas City, he essentially moved with us. He was going to school in Springfield, so he came to KC every weekend that first year. When people saw us all together, the assumed Luke was one of our sons, which, I guess was kind of accurate.
Today, Luke's wife, Stephanie had a baby, Eleanor Joy Bentima.
Guess that makes me a "kind of" Grandpa!
Congratulations Luke, Stephanie, & Eleanor Joy!
