I Am Nanny, Hear Me . . . . Let It All Out!

Every Sunday, Mariah takes the boys home from church on the "Roller Coaster Road".   They think it has quite the ups and downs.  If they only knew!!

I have been so grateful that I had them to hang on to, love on, cuddle, comfort, even yell at as they were running out into the parking lot, full of moving cars . . . and when I caught them tromping on my laptop on the floor . .  and what may I ask was it doing there in the first place.  Don't want to know how it got there or how hard it hit getting there!

Anyway, needless to say, Robo-Nanny has had a hard time holding up the last couple of days.  I got the good news just before going and picking Garrett up after pre-school.  The teacher is the sweetest lady and friend who has known us for years.  When she looked up and I tried to tell her Lynneah was doing really well, I lost it, finally.  Scared the poor girl, she thought the news was bad.

I have a confession.  Last year, I helped sew the burial clothes for a wonderful little boy who I had only met once.  He was only 8 months old when he left his earthly family.  It was an honor and privilege to help a wonderful friend and sister sew these clothes for her tiny grandson.  It was such a spiritual experience to spend that time with the sweet young parents, also dear friends, as they prepared to tell their son good-bye until they join him in the next stage of their eternal existence.  They were comforted  by the knowledge that Sage was born under the covenant thanks to their choice to be sealed in the temple when they married.  I grew by being with them for that short time.

I have already purchased white satin, organza and tiny crystals and pearls to combine with Mariah's wedding dress scraps to make a blessing dress for Lynneah.  I have been so afraid that it would end up being a burial dress instead.   I pushed the fear down deep and refused to let it surface.  I am so grateful that I won't have to face that now.  I can hardly wait to make a blessing dress that is, "OK Mom, I want a little tiny wedding dress" for my baby to be blessed in!  Thank goodness Mariah has fairly simple taste in wedding dresses!
