I'm sure the recent sad story in Layton with the 4 year old little boy has hit home with a lot of us. I just read the latest reports on KSL.com and tried to fight back the tears, until finally- I couldn't. What a terrible and sad display of parenting (if you can even call it that). If this tragedy has taught me anything, it is that I will work that much harder to be a better mother and caregiver for the 2 tender spirits I have in this life. Dawson and Carter mean everything to Jason and I and we are re-committing ourselves to be the best parents we can. No child should ever have to face the abuse, neglect and torture that poor little child experienced. The only comfort I can find, is knowing that, that little boy is in the arms of a loving Father in Heaven and away from the clutches of his Earthly mother and step-father.
I am so grateful that families can be together forever and I want to be the kind of parent, my children want to be with forever.

Cameron was telling me about that story yesterday, and I started crying too. It breaks my heart. By the way, you have adorable boys!
I made dad mute the TV. I just couldn't stand it. It has really effected a lot of people. Most men would love to be in a room with the s o b and see how tuff he really is.
true that amy! i think about it everyday and it blows my mind that somebody could do that to a child. makes you cherish every moment, and be thankful that Heavenly Father trusts us with his little ones.
Very true Amy and what two amazing liveable spirits u have!! I love them both and they too are lucky to have u and Jase as their parents! Love u and miss u
Great post, Ame! You said it so well...being the kind of parent my children WANT to be with forever is a goal of mine too. Your boys love you to pieces and you are an incredible Mama. They are lucky to have you.
Loved this post. We have been so upset about all of this too! (Who isn't?) This being a parent stuff is a lot of work, but so worth it to try to do the best we can! Your boys are darling! I know I say that every time I comment, but come on! LoReLi
