Working... Huh?

Well while Autty is supposedly "Working" down in Mexico taking engagement pictures for a client during "Spring Break", me and Britt get to write the Blog. Can't tell you how nice it is to have a conversation with this kid now! It's a huge thing, because for over 3 months it was our whole family doing all the talking and Britt just laying there listening. Now you can't get him to be quiet and that's music to our ears. Every evening as my wife leaves to head home to the little boys she says "Now make sure he goes to bed early tonight because he's really tired and he needs his rest!" I reply "Ok" as always and as soon as she leaves the room Britton raises his hands in the air and chants in his cute mumbling voice "Parteeeee, Parteeeee, Parteeeee!" Then we laugh and sit here and talk about everything under the moon til late at night... One of the priceless things that I can do now with my boy! He loves to talk about his friends, his baseball team and is always asking me scores of every game from that day. Britt loves to listen to what's going on outside his room and recognize the voices, he'll ask me if that is Roxy, Carin, or Kelsi out in the hall. He knows Troy, Jonny & Manny's voices if they are just chatting with a patient walking by or down in the next couple rooms. He'll hear someone's alarm or beeper down the hall and say someone needs a nurse hurry! But by far my favorite thing of all is at night when he asks me to say our prayers! I know that may sound a little childish that a 16 yr old boy is asking his Dad to say prayers at night, but if you could sit in here and listen to that mumbling little voice sound as clear as a bell when his prayers start, you'd melt just like I do and realize how tough your NOT & how close he has been to our Heavenly Father just months ago! He doesn't miss anyone in his prayers, the doctors, nurses, Steve, Amellia, his little brothers, Nana, Grandma, Grandpa and especially his Mom, Autty & at that end of every prayer little Kycie Terry. I can't lie.... I stand there and peek out of one eye as he bows his head and folds his arms so innocently, just like a young child. His words ring true and as he closes his prayer he hesitates just slightly and tells Our Heavenly Father just how much he loves him. I know in my heart that Heavenly Father held him close and tight as they decided what was next for him. I'm so thankful and maybe just a little selfish for thinking they made the right decision! My wife & I are the most fortunate people I know to have Our Boy here with us today and more thankful to our kind Father in Heaven for his trust in us to carry out his plan.
To some that knew me before all of this, it may sound a little sappy and over the top! But I can tell you now and forever that I'm a better Person, Friend, Man, Husband & Father because of this. I was far from perfect before and I'm still far from perfect now. But I do know I'm inching closer everyday being around this Boy!
Britton wants to say a few words so I'm going to hit my speaker key on my iPad and see what comes of this? Here we go..... Hi man I want hello pray to you'd be super live end thank you'd .....

What he really said was "Hi everyone! I want to tell you all I love you and thanks for all the prayers and support"
