Helping Mommy

 

You want me to do what?

Maggie was such a sweetheart and sat with me while I worked on my Sharing Time for Primary. She was even kind enough to model the masks to see how they would look on the little kiddos.

These little masks were for the Sunbeams. Jonas would have been a sunbeam. He would have loved to play with the masks, but I'm not sure what one he would have wanted. I think it would have been between the tiger and the monkey. He giggled at both sounds!

To be truthful, it is hard to think that Jonas would be with me in Primary, but he's not. That every time we sing a song, it reminds me of him and how we would sing that together. How much he would smile when he heard it. 

If I thought about it too much, it would be impossible. So I don't. I'm lucky that way and I easily don't allow myself to dwell on those thoughts. Do they creep in, yes and willingly so. A little is good. I still love to talk about him and hearing others remember him too.

Back to Maggie...she was like a little bobble head trying to get her to hold still long enough to take these pictures was hard. You know, people have asked me if it's harder with Maggie. 

Truth, yes and no.  

It's hard to explain, but one thing is to see her do so well, but knowing that it isn't forever. Today was one of those days. She didn't hold her head up as well as she did in these pictures. It was really hard for her and my heart sank. It's like a ticking time bomb. Well maybe not a bomb because I hope it will go slowly. Like Jonas..one day I just realized and thought how long as it been like that? I pray for that. Please make it easy, please make it slow.
