Mary...

Johnny said something funny in the car and Mary said, " Johnny is so funny I can't get past him"...LOL

Our nigtht time talks

Tonight while picking out a book for me to read him, John tells me "mom I want to be a kid forever, for my whole life, till I die" as I tucked him in after our story I asked why, he said "becasue I won't be able to learn new words"...I held back my tears and said "why do you think this b/c it is hard for you to say some things?"...he said "yes mommy". I asked him if he was sad about this and the tears filled his eys. I told him if he felt like crying that it is ok and asked if he needed a hug. He jumped out of bed and wrapped both arms tight around me and we hugged. We then had a little talk about how smart, creative, funny, and kind he is. We talked about how great he is doing and he is all ready for kindergarten...and he said "is this the truth?"..yes it is my love!!! "Ok mom I believe you let's say our prayers" <3 All becasued I asked him why?...love the talks my lovebugs and I have at the end of the day. And then Mary shared her excitement and fears about leaving kindergarten and going to 1st grade, can not beleive what a grown up conversation her and I had. She has grown up so much this past year and I am beyond proud of her <3




What a fullfilling day this mom had and was topped off with some heart to heart conversations with the ones I love & treasure most. So grateful for these moments and that they share so much!

My angel

The other day from out of no where, John says "Mom you know your sister who died, I saw her up there she is an angel for you"  <3

More of Mary's wisdom...

Driving home from pet store: Mary says, "Mom I am so glad you and daddy picked eachother and that you decided to have me and Johnny becasue you are the nicest & best parents ever"...I almost cried, she was so matter a fact and sweet at the same time ♥

I told her I am so very glad you are my daughter because you amaze me everyday and I love you more than ever!!!!

Bedtime conversation with Mary...

Mary~"Mom, if you die holding a stuffed animal does God make you drop it or do you get to keep it, well I am bringing lovey everywhere w/ me because I think when you die you are alive in Heaven & get to play with your friends who died before you & Audrey may die before me so she is there to play with me, well mom God has a plan, right, so I guess I have to wait and see what it is?!"
She got that all out in one, fast breath with a brief pause btwn thoughts and my response, "I think you got it right sweetheart" ♥ My closest moment to God today!
I love you Mary Rose and all your beautiful thoughts!!!
