I MISS THEM.....
I knew it would be hard, but not this hard.
They have only been gone since 6:00 a.m. yesterday and they are dearly missed.
We stayed pretty busy yesterday taking Iz school shopping.
She really wanted her OWN day for that.
She feels that she is over looked and doesn't get the time in kid stores that the older 2 get in theirs.
That is true.
But.....
By the time we got home and slowed down,
we were all missing them.
Soooo
Before Aaron headed to work we opened the letters they wrote us before they left.
tears made a brief appearance, and then we toughened up a little.
I later got some info that I prob. shouldn't have pertaining to my kiddos, that sent me into complete break down mode.
Tay only has 5 kids in her family 3 girls and 2 boys.
the 2 boys and 1 girl seem to be pretty lazy.
Meaning Tay and the other girl
{who happen to be the 2 smallest in the family}
pulled the cart the entire way,
until......
Briar and another young man from his family came and pulled the cart the last mile and a half for them.
Tays poor arms are blistered and rubbed raw along with bruising from trying to hold the cart down because it was to heavy and kept popping the handle up on them.
She couldn't feel her toes from digging deep to pull up the rocky hills.
and.....
the next day was the girls day to pull with 2 big hills to face.
So what does a mom do.....?
I cried in heart break, cried for mercy, cried that her brother was looking out for her and taking care of her, and so much more.
I cried and worried myself so much I got a major headache and sick to my stomach unable to breath at times.
When Aaron got home he massaged my neck and face to ease the pain enough I could sleep.
I fell asleep quickly before saying my prayers,
{Aaron however knelt for us after}
but still I felt the comforting love from my Heavenly Father.
He is ALWAYS there....
unwavering, even without us asking.
I pray that they push through and endure to the end knowing that their Father in Heaven is watching over them and is proud of them.
And that we are anxiously and proudly awaiting for them to come home.
I can't wait to see their dirty faces and wrap them up in my arms, and listen to their experiences .
I LOVE them more than they may ever know.
xoxo
