Answered Prayers to besteira.

Oh man, so do you remember that one time where Adam was not just tdy but tdy to Hawaii and while he was gone the two oldest boys decided that it would be a great idea to dispose of the melted wax in the candle (because it did not occur to them that it might just cool down and re-harden) by pouring it down the kitchen sink? Ya, good times.

Then Adam gets a frantic text message, “We need to FaceTime right now!”  The sink had over flowed and Michelle had to take the Ptrap apart by herself.  She did so, discovered the offending wax in the tube and then had to melt it by boiling that section in a pot.  And then put it all back together.

While ‘discussing’ the effects of pouring molten wax down the kitchen sink drain with the boys Mother was very much in control and nice. But that didn’t keep the worrier of the three from admitting in a veil of sincere tears it was completely his fault, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.  David still feels bad about everything every time.

But then Adam got that text message picture of the woman factory worker from WWII, “We can do it!” And a picture of every thing back to normal under the sink.  Good times.  Michelle is a strong woman.

The best part was when it was all over.  Mommy Michelle was extolling the virtues of self reliance and lessons learned by everyone and sweet David replies, “Well Mom, I guess my prayer worked.”

Yes it did son, and thank you for your beautiful reminder to us all. We love you.
