 I should have e-mailed you a few weeks ago but I didn't. It has been very busy around here plus I have can drag my feet a little. Anyway, about 3 to 4 weeks ago. I think it was on a Tuesday morning around 4:00 or 4:30. I woke up out of a deep sleep with you and Kayla on my mind. I got up and began to pray for you, the family and this baby situation.I didn't really know what to pray for, but made it a general pray for about an hour. I'm glad that this has all worked out for you. I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about you, and still thinking about you. I hope to make it down there again in near future. As we would say in AR, yall take care now, here.

Danitza, Nicholas and Little Nicky 2/18/2007 Is the epic over or has it just begun?For six months you have joined my family on what is, by design, a moment of great definition for our future, for our lives. You have been with us as we worried about Jenny's health, wondered about Jose's thought process, and most of all, you have been with us contemplating Ephraim's future.
Jenny has passed, finally knowing relief from the suffering she endured for six months, from the suffering that set us all on this course. With her passing came questions and uncertainties, not new, but those that had been hidden and waiting for some time. Still, there was only one question that truly needed an answer, one question that stood above all others. Today I have an answer to that question.
Two weeks ago, upon returning home from church, Kayla stated casually that she needed to talk to me. Jose had come to church that day, she said, and he had asked to talk with her after the service. While we have always talked to Jose, allowed him to see Ephraim when we found ourselves in the same place, and had extended to him an open invitation to see his son, when he had made this sort of approach in the past the result had not been pleasant. This day held its share of despair, but of a different sort, along with a great sense of relief when all had been said.
Jose, very hesitantly, and with tears in his eyes, looked at Kayla and said "You win." He said he knew what it was he must do, what was right, no matter the difficulty of the decision. Kayla, not sure how to take his first words, did her best to understand if he truly felt that we had been battling against each other. He did not. Rather, he explained that as a result of Jenny's passing at the Lord's Hand we had won the blessing of raising Ephraim, a task he could not undertake. He said he did not feel as though he was losing as much as he knew he was doing what was right by his child.
One week later Jose signed the papers relinquishing his rights, the papers that cleared the path for Kayla and I to adopt our little Tootsie Roll. By signing the papers Jose relieved us of the necessity to continue with our court dealings, but most importantly, he relieved us all of the daily worry that came with not knowing where Ephraim would be tomorrow.
With all doubt removed, all worry now vanquished, I would like to today announce to you all, and ask you to welcome, our son, Ephraim Cohen Miqueas Cantley.
