Well, hello everyone, I'm James Dobson and this is Family Talk.

I have the privilege today of interviewing a charming lady that I've known for a year

and a half, I think, and she is just a great woman of God and surely loves her too.

Our listeners are going to enjoy getting acquainted with her. Her name is Judy Squire

and her husband is David. They've been married for 45 years and he's here in the studio with us

but he's going to let Judy do the talking. Judy is the mother of three grown daughters

who are all married and she has a master's degree in speech therapy.

Judy has written two books that we're going to be talking

not about but around. Her story is in these books and so Judy, I'm so delighted that you could

come be with us today. You aren't as delighted as I am, Dr. Dobson.

I met you at a conference in California and I just knew you're my kind of lady

and I want to go all the way back to the beginning of your life when you were born

and let's talk about your story because your story has touched a lot of people and it has touched

my heart as well. So is that okay? Can we do that? Let's talk about your birth then

and your arrival in the delivery room and what happened at that time?

I think the obstetrician wished that he'd been off duty because in 1945 there were no ultrasound

tests so he had no forewarning that I would arrive without legs and a deformed left hand.

So as I slipped through the birth canal his knee started knocking because he knew he had to

tell my parents that they had a broken baby. Didn't he say something like she's going to live

which is a shame or something like that? What did he say? Dad would often talk about how the

obstetrician stumbled into the waiting room and said Reverend Ryder your daughter is going to live.

I'm sorry to say. Why would physicians say something like that?
