Finally, he gifted me a <a href="https://my-doll.com/" rel="nofollow">love doll</a> to make me comfortable in the night.

There is a slim chance that we could have three kids on a mission (for a very brief time) at the SAME time.<br /><br />Heaven help me.<br /><br />Serene is my name, not my life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02181359150279923307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695572240970610161.post-85976026070187498552013-03-13T21:23:37.818-07:002013-03-13T21:23:37.818-07:00My husband and 17-year-old-son think it is silly t...My husband and 17-year-old-son think it is silly that mom's feel this way and it makes me annoyed with their lack of empathy. I worry about how I'm going to take it when my son leaves on his mission not so very far from now.<br />A woman in my ward had been crying at church over missing her missionary and that night as we were getting ready for family prayer my husband was kneeling by our bed stretching himself over the blankets and said, "You know what I would miss if it went away for two years? This mattress." Men.<br /><br />Even if my husband and son don't I want you to know I'm feeling for you.

I sent a son to Croatia and one to Mexico. Really, truthfully speaking, both missions flew by - I guess I was busy with the rest of life to dwell on the fact they were gone - but come Monday the computer was mine as I would sit and wait for the email and hang on every word of their letter absorbing and taking it all in - It was the only thing that got me through the week.<br /><br />Hang in there your boy is going to be the BEST missionary out there!Saimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09205857549533433625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695572240970610161.post-78783432296798559152013-03-11T18:31:18.086-07:002013-03-11T18:31:18.086-07:00Congratulations to your son.

I just found out mine broke his ankle last week, which wouldn't be a big deal if he weren't in Ethiopia, with questionable emergency care. Or any care for that matter. I would imagine they bound it up with cardboard and goat hair and kept on tracting. Bless their man-boy hearts. So glad to be in the same club as you.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690873703374171148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695572240970610161.post-557620862316256232013-03-11T11:36:57.821-07:002013-03-11T11:36:57.821-07:00I'm crying right now.
