"and tell Him we love and miss our daddy"

Now that Ben is a Firefighter, we miss him the nights that he is gone. Every night, we pray to God about EVERYTHING...literally:) Jackson always wants me to say the prayer, but by the end, we have switched, and he is doing all the talking:) This is how it went last Friday night...

Lindsey: Dear God
Jackson: Mommy, don't forget to tell him we love and miss our daddy
Lindsey: Okay babe, Dear God
Jackson: don't forget!
Lindsey: I didn't forget Jackson, let me say it. Dear God, thank you
Jackson: for our daddy!
Lindsey: Yes, thank you for our daddy. We love him so very much
Jackson: and we miss him!
Lindsey: and we miss him
Jackson: uh huh, we do
Lindsey: please help keep him safe while he is helping people
Jackson: Mom, I'll say it now
Lindsey: okay
Jackson: Dear God, thank you for our daddy, we love and miss him so much, keep him safe cuz he helping people. Make him come home now.

Of course we went on praying for...well...ever:) Our prayers are long around here, some nights I have to pray him to sleep:) We certainly pray a lot for "our daddy"...
