Sam "Can you give me a dream?"
Every night at bedtime Sam asks me for a back-rub and a dream.
Last night
S -Tell me the story of me.
M - (Sigh) on May 15th 2008 you were born. Doctors had to be sure you were ready to come out and join the world. After poking a needle in me that was this long (---------) , they decided you were ready, and the time was set for you to be born the next day.
S - A needle THAT BIG!
M - Yes, and that needle made you MAD! You must have thought "FORGET this place, it's no longer safe and fun, I'm outta here!" You wanted out NOW! I have never felt so much pain. Christian, and Maddy when they decided to come out didn't hurt mommy so bad.
S - Heheheh, I was strong!
M - Yes you were, and I knew that you wouldn't wait very long! So grandma drove me to the hospital VERY fast. We were just at the doctor's office, but the hospital you were to be born at was 20 minutes away. I did not like grandmas driving, she hit every bump and took every turn very fast. OUCH!
Meanwhile everyone got the call that you were coming fast. Daddy was at work dressed fancy, Christian was having at play date with aunt K and the cousins, and Maddy was with GaGa at the zoo.
Maddy had just gotten a snow cone that she had begged GaGa to buy, but had to throw it away.
S - Is that why Maddy hates me so much? We should buy her a snow cone for her birthday!
M - That's a great idea, she would love that!
S - I don't know what her favorite color is, so we'll just get rainbow. Then she'll like me.
M - Maddy loves you, she was so happy to hold you for the first time. I'll show you pictures tomorrow that show happy she was!
S - Did daddy hold me too?
M - Yes daddy was the first one to hold you. Back to my story.... Daddy got there in the nick of time! And grandma went to go buy a camera, but the doctor told her there was no time. Off I whet to go have little Samuel.
S - I thought I was a big baby.
M - Nope, although you were very strong you were born tiny. But everyday you grow bigger and stronger.
S - Will I be Superman someday?
M - I'm sure you will!

Where's the snooze button on this!
I love her to death, but she doesn't know the meaning of sleeping in! It's summertime Emma!

The storm
Storm raging all around, waves crashing into your life.
Jesus calm and at peace.
We cry out, save us, don't you care?
Jesus lifts he hands and stills the wind, waves, and sky.
Is your faith so weak that you fear the storm?
Jesus calm and at peace.

Is your faith so weak that you fear the storm?
Oh what a glorious day that will be
Please come Jesus, let all the suffering end. My heart you know. My patience always lacks. I can only truly love you, I find splitting my splitting my heart for others hard. So please grant me the patience, for I know you plan is not my own. You will come on your own time, not mine.
