Editing

Dear Reader, For the past several weeks I have been typing up some final edits for my book. You would think I would be elated - Not so.(well maybe a bit relieved now that I am finished) It was actually very emaotional and I spent a lot of timewiping my eyes as I relived all the emaotions from the first moments of when Conrad was diagnosed. I didn't realize how far I had pushed those feelings away. Or maybe I thought that I wouldn't have to go through all of it again. But I did. It was incredibly hard. But I am now on the other side looking up! Something so very cute happened a few weeks ao that I want to share with you. My boys (not including Mr. Conrad) were being pills to me and each other. So after bedtime prayer I had them each say 3-5 nice things about each other (Conrad was in bed already). When we were through, Wilson said, "Mom, we forgot Conrad! Can I do him now?" All three boys proceeded to say very sweet and insightful things about him. Some of the tihings that they said were: He is funny, he likes to watch TV with me, he gives good hugs, and he is nice. It was a proud mom moment.
