Since about October Conner, Gabe and I have been visiting a lady in our ward, her name is Sister Bodily, she is 96 years old and lives in a bright blue house and has lived their for 73 years. Her husband has been gone for 15 years or so. We would see her at church and she always wanted to give my boys hugs and kisses and then she would say, "Did you know that I love you." So that tells you a little bit about our adopted grandma. So I made a committment to myself that we would go see her every tuesday before Conner goes to preschool. The first couple visits I wasn't sure what she was thinking. She would let my boys know not to touch something or don't raise your voice in my house, I thought this is going to be good practice on how to behave at someone elses house. She is a little fisty sp? my boys need that. As we have kept going she has made comments like,"Did you see my face light up when your boys walked through that door?"and "When kids come around me, I come to life." So the last visit I had been sick all week and just say a little prayer, Heavenly Father if I am suppose to go see Sister Bodily give me a sign. Conner came up to me and said, mom we didn't go see Sister Bodily, I said I know Con will go see her next week, (knowing that was my sign) I knew that wasn't going to work. But Conner persisted and said, "mom she is lonely we have to go see her." "Mom, I love Sister Bodily." So we went and saw her the next morning. Our last visit I didn't know if she would want us to come back. The whole time we were their she kept saying I sure wish I could get down and play with you guys on the floor, well finally she just got out of her chair and got down on the floor and started to tease and play with my boys. I guess Conner was able to get a really good look at her and told her she looked like a rooster. Sister Bodily said what, " Conner grabed her neck and pulled on the loose skin on her neck and said a rooster. I was dying I didn't know what to do. and " Sister Bodily said, your going to have one these you just wait and you can't say anything to me that will hurt my feelings." I was relieved....
