Just The Same



This poem was in this month's Ensign after the wonderful article called Faith and Infertility


Just The Same by Diana Lynn Lacey


Sometimes -


God sends rain


Straight from the sky


To nourish the young flower


and it grows.




Sometimes -


God sends rain from the sky


To the mountaintops,


Then over hills and through valleys


Until it reaches the flower


and it grows, just the same.




Sometimes -


God sends a child


Straight from His realm


Into a mother's arms


and love grows.




Sometimes -


God sends a child


From heaven to another's arms,


Then over hills and through valleys


Until he reaches the arms of his mother


and love grows, just the same.



Even though I didn't physically give birth to Alex, my love for him is Just The Same. I Love You, my sweet boy!

My Chunky Monkey

Just a few pictures of my Chunky Monkey. When he went for his 4 month check up, he weighed 12 pounds 10 ounces and is 22 inches tall. We have a short and chubby little guy on our hands.
