Elijah Brooks began pulling away from me and moving more towards his Daddy several months ago. I have heard this is normal for little boys his age, but it was beginning to break a momma's heart! However, I have noticed him gravitating back more towards me since Elliot's death. He doesn't want me out of his sight for very long. So, he has decided that if he marries me, then he won't ever have to be away from me. Last week, he came up to me and said, "Mommy, ONE MORE WEEK"! I asked him what he was talking about and he said, "ONE MORE WEEK TILL I MARRY YOU"! He was so excited and absolutely certain that we were going to get married. He has talked about it every day since he first came up with his plan. Every day he says, "mommy, I am so excited that we are getting married". Each morning when he wakes up, he says, "today is marry day". Well, over the weekend he planned the wedding. He told me that we are getting married on Thursday (8/23/12), at 11:00am at Trinity Church. He has also planned the music by himself. We will have the "Hallelujah Chorus", and "Angels from the Realms of Glory", played on the organ by E-Daddy. Jay will marry us, and he will give me his "tiger ring" that he got from the zoo gift shop.
Elijah Brooks, I will marry you and will gladly accept your tiger ring, and will wear it proudly!
I LOVE YOU, and never want to be away from you either!

love that sweet boy of yours and his most amazing mama! what a precious story!
Oh my goodness that is the sweetest little plan I have EVER heard!!! And I know how you feel. My little boy feels like he's getting bigger every day and at 4 he was already too embarrassed to have me hug him when I dropped him off at school. : ( Thankfully Sophie wants to live with mommy and daddy forever and will love on me anytime. Well, after she has gotten enough love from Daddy. ; )
What a sweet story!! You are a well loved mama. We are praying for you and your family!!!
