I just watched Riley read the book Caps for Sale to his brother. It's a long book and he's only had it about a month, but he already has most of it memorized. After our trip to the zoo last week Trey's new favorite animal is the monkey. This book is full of monkeys. Both boys laughed big belly laughs as Riley read and acted out the book for Trey. As Eric and I stood in the background and watched them all I could think was how thankful I am that God has trusted us with these beautiful gifts.
My friend Doug has been given a beautiful gift as well, his niece Amanda. I know they both miss Alyssa and that this whole ordeal has been so hard for them. But, they have each other and that's important. Surely God understands that things have to work out. I feel helpless when I think about their situation, there's really nothing I can do. But, I will be there on Thursday to show how much I support Doug and my confidence in his ability to care for his niece. And more importantly, I'm praying Doug, praying continuously.
