My Nathan. I love him! He brings a very special joy to my life. And because of him I have learned more about myself and my love for my kids and my Heavenly Father. Last night Nathan brought me to my knees in prayer. I can't remember the last time I just fell to the floor in prayer with tears pouring from my eyes. Nathan has recently started getting headaches so bad they wake him from his sleep at night. Well last night was the night for it to wake him. He cried, and screamed. I held him, gave him some pain reliever, put some heat on his head, and rubbed his head. None of that helped. We ended up in the hallway for some reason and thats when i just fell to the floor with him tightly wrapped in my arms. I found myself praying out loud. I put him back into bed and was sure he'd fall back to sleep. About 10 minutes later I heard him again crying from pain this time I said nothing to him, I just scooped him up, went downstairs to the rocking chair in the front room and held him tight in my arms, rocking him, and again praying. He finally fell asleep for the night and I was able to put him in bed.
This morning he asked me why I was prayed for him when he was having his headache. `
Nathan I pray for you all the time, you just don't always hear me!
I do it because I love you!

I love it. You're so awesome Jen!
I have been there. I distinctly remember that feeling. You are an amazing Mom and although it must have been a long torturous night for you both, what a wonderful thing for him to remember of the night. I hope it doesn't happen again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
