JAKE: Hello. I'm Jake. And I'm an addict.
(hello, Jake)
JAKE: I'm addicted to my pacifier. Last night was my first nights sleep without a pa-pa. It went ok. This morning I told my mama that imma big boy and not a baby. I think I made her happy. I'm taking this one hour at a time. It's not easy.

Funny Guy
Tonight's Dinner Conversation--
After seeing a commercial on TV about homeless children John and I have been discussing this issue for many moons...
Bringing up this conversation again John says to me, "Mom? The kids without moms and dads, their sad, right?"
"Right." I say. "Aren't you so lucky to have mommy and daddy to live with you and love you forever?"
"Yea. And you will always be here?" He asks.
"Yes, always, Son. Even when you are big and old like Taylor." I reply. Taylor is John's 2nd cousin (18 yrs old, just graduated HS,) who he refers to as big and strong and old and like a super-hero.
John says, "When I'm big like Taylor and I'm married?"
"Yes! When youre married, when you're older." I said.
"Mom, you promise you'll be there when I'm married? And Daddy too?"
John asked.
"Yes, Son, I promise I'll be there."
God willing, I will be there. John is so so so present. As if he just talked to God a few moments ago, he knows what's important. I love my tender little guy.
