It was basketball season in 1996. I am pretty sure it was on the Band Bus, outside of Jadwin Gym, so it would be 1/6/1996, over 20 years ago. Sarah and I were discussing our relationship and our future...Sarah told me the following: we were going to get married, we would have a daughter, and her name would be Alexa Faith. So, today, on the 93rd day of 2016, 4/2/16, I thought back, not only about 4/2/02 when Alexa was born, but also about 1/6/96 and Sarah's prophetic words. I am truly lucky and blessed that they came true. Later I found out that the name Alexa was inspired by Billy Joel and his song about a boat that bore his daughter's name. Faith was an easy choice for the middle name and our Alexa Faith has been an amazing daughter for the past fourteen years and I can only imagine and hope for what the future is to bring us. The love I have for Alexa is immeasurable and the next fourteen years should bring us exciting times. LOVE YOU ALEXA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And here is the Billy Joel song that provided the inspiration, years ago.
