Saint Mama?

When we say are night time prayers we ask each family members "name" saint to pray for us. Since there is no Saint Megan, I have chosen St. Anne (Mary's mother). We have a few other saints we include so it isn't a straight 5, which makes it less straight forward for him. Last night after going through the list there was a pause and Jet speaks up "What about Saint Mama?" LOL

She's definitely not in this house!!!!!!!!!!!!

But thanks for thinking of me, buddy! I cherish the innocent inquiries and his earnest attempts to understand and be a part of our family. I am so thankful he is comfortable enough to say what is on his mind!

Angel of God 2x

A prayer we pray every morning and night is:

Angel of God, my guardian dear,
To whom God's love commits me here,
Ever this day(night) be at my side,
To light and guard, to rule and guide.

We change the day/night depending on when we are praying it. For at least a year now, we have prayed two Angel Of God prayers at each time. One is for Munchkin #3 since his day is our night and vice versa we say the opposite for him.

It is a constant reminder for us that we have a member of our family missing. It helps me to picture him at that moment, what he might be doing, to validate the fact I do have a 3rd child. His journey to us is almost over. The new pics make it so real, too.

I look forward to the day or night in the very near future (I pray!) where we might pray ONE Angel of God prayer, all together!!

Thailand Time

For 2 nights now I have been up in order to make calls to Thailand during business hours to try and get some answers.

I was unsuccessful again tonight.

I am struggling to think on US time at all right now.

I even talk to Papa on Thailand time these days.

Dear God, please help me get some answers!! I beg you!
