LUKE!!!!

I am doing this post more for a record that Luke can look back and realize it's a miracle that he is still alive. There is a very good reason I call Luke, monkey. I have now had to remove the dresser from the monkey's room. Almost everyday I would find Luke sitting on top of the dresser. And this was always after he had emptied out most of the clothes. I am hoping by putting the clothes in his closet, I will kill two birds with one stone. No more climbing and no more clothes all over the floor.
Yesterday there was a baby blessing at church. I couldn't help but think back to the monkey's baby blessing. I don't remember if it was during Luke's or John's, but Rob said, you both were meant to come down here together for a special reason. At the time this was said, I really thought nothing about it. I figured once the monkeys were older, we would see why they came together. NEVER did I think in a million years, they would be here together for me, right now. What's the difference between have one two year and two? Night and day. These monkeys keep me on my toes. They help me get up every morning. I rarely forget they are around. I am always cleaning my home, vacuuming, mopping the floor. One baby would of been simple, two monkeys keep us laughing, guessing, and crying! When they are driving me insane, I have to remind myself of God's wisdom. I can't imagine life without my monkeys. "And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will." Words of Mormon 1:7

Patti, U R amazing in the way that you look to the Lord, His Teachings & His Words to support you now in your time of mourning & adjustment. I am amazed that you DO get out of bed each day! I know your family needs you & frankly, a loving Christ centered sister, is motivated by service to others. So, yes, the twins (& your family)are your salvation, your reason to get up, dressed, greet the world, & keep a schedule. Looking back, you can see the Hand of God in your yesterdays in preparation for your tomorrows. As your mother, I would reach into your heart & rip out every anguish & carry it myself if I could.......my hope for you lies in our Savior's Atoning Love. His Love will cover & comfort you daily, minute to minute. I pray for you each day to have Heaven's Grace. Hold on tightly to what you know to be true & your loved ones.....my heart & soul brim with love and admiration for you, little Sis. Be comforted. Love, Mom
