Love it too! Except I am not going to be surprised, as Pres. Monson suggests. I already think about those days and get teary-eyed. Don't even talk to me about my kids going to school or going on missions unless you want to make me sad and see the tears flow. In fact, there is a perfect black hand print from Max on my family room wall that has been there for 2 1/2 years. I will NEVER wash it and am tempted to even cut it out of the wall when we move. I know, a little crazy since I could have him put a hand print on paper to keep forever. I just love that it was spontaneous and that his hand was dirty from playing, not because I painted it. Long comment...too much information...but you love me anyway! :) Thanks for sharing that quote.
So I just found your blog on a link from BlogHer and I have spent way too much time reading about someone I don't know, but I so relate! I have three boys and the two oldest are crazy. I totally struggle with remembering that they're just little boys and wanting to scream and tear my hair out. How do you keep that balance? Really- I'm interested in any ideas you have. Almost all the girls in my ward have girls so they dont understand my crazy boys. If you have a moment and wouldn't mind, I would love to hear any advice! kristib80 @ yahoo

I'm only laughing at this because the font almost looks like a trail of blood. I'm gory, I guess. But as far as the quote goes...so true.
