I’m a worrier. Have I ever mentioned that before?
Maybe? In passing? Once or twice?
I worry about my kids.
I worry about the economy.
I worry about whether or not to get a few chickens for my back yard.
I worry if there will be enough ketchup for my kids to smother their fries in at dinner.
What can I say? It’s a gift.
Yesterday found me worrying about Parker’s future. The future without Mom and Dad around to kick ass watch out over our Brave Hero.
Cause I’ve heard the stories. In the news and by word of mouth. The stories where people with special needs are taken advantage of. And worse. Much worse.
But then I came across this scene at our house yesterday:
And the spirit spoke peace to the worry in this Mama’s heart.
I realized that long after Reed and I are gone there will be 5 brothers and sisters more than willing to kick some ass watch over our Brave Hero.
It feels so very good to be able to scratch at least one worry off my list.
Those are the sweetest pics ever!! You really are one lucky mommy!
That made me cry!! How incredibly sweet is that?!
How awesome! I am in tears as well…..A friend of mine and I, she has a son with DS and heart issues as well, were jsut talking about this same thing. Our “backups” are siblings as well. There is nothing like a loving brother or sister to take care…..and just look how much they love each other. …you can see it in the way they hold each other while htey are sleeping. Hunter adores Tucker and would and will do everything in her power to make sure he gets what he needs long after I am off this earth…THANK GOODNESS!!!!
So so sweet.
My sons have already told us that they will watch The Love Magnet when we serve as senior missionaires. Two of them have argued about whose house she will stay at when we are gone: “Mine!”, “No, she likes me better!”
Loved the pics!
Those pictures are so precious. Cody has already taken an interest in Carson’s feedings and medicines and Coltan is the entertainer. So if something ever happened to me, I know that Coltan and Cody are going to take care of Carson. He has the best two siblings in the world!
I totally agree, I know any of my boys would take Jax. Although I do have an autistic child that I don’t know how functionally he’ll be on his own. My oldest has already told me he gets Jax when we die. Who knows, he may end up with two brothers in his house. ( Sorry future wife)
Beautiful pictures.
such sweet photos. Parker is so lucky to have them and they him! I worry too about my Noah.
Love it!!!
Oh my gosh…that is absolutely precious!
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Look at that true love between brothers. I have tears in my eyes and butterflies in my stomach. What wonderful parents you and Reed are Tammy!! Parker will always be loved and taken care of. What a blessing for such a beautiful, brave hero!
Love to all,
Amy
Here I sit with a big lump in my throat. These pictures are priceless and yes, I’d say his brothers and sisters are always going to be there for him.
omg! precious beyond anything!
You are a GREAT MOM.
So very beautiful! you are raising greatkids! all of them reflect what you are teaching.
This too is my biggest fear and worry for Joaquin. I too hope the love of his brothers will be enough to ease my mind. What a beautiful photo of your children!
*sniff* Those pictures are sooooo sweet. That must do your heart darn good.
Beautiful pictures! I have five siblings and wouldn’t trade them for the world. We are very close and I know that it’s such a blessing.
What a sweet post! Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos, and I look forward to reading more of your posts!
what a precious scene you stumbled upon!
This is the sweetest thing EVER!
