Is God Still Building Cooper’s Voice?
My most favorite thing is having conversations with Sawyer. And typically, the best ones happen while I’m driving.
Yesterday, on our way to a birthday party, he asked me if he will ever get to ride a dinosaur and who decides where the roads start and stop. He asked me if we were rich. When I told him no he asked me if he could get a job.
He told me a fascinating story about how his dad ran out of gas and had to walk to the gas station with a gas can. When I asked him when that happened he said confidently, ‘tomorrow.’
And then, after a bit of silence, he said:
Sawyer: Mom, is God still building Cooper’s Voice?
Me: Oh bud, I don’t know. Maybe. I hope so.
Sawyer: I hope so too. I’m sure getting tired of waiting. God better hurry up. I wonder if he knows we are waiting. My brother has so much to tell me.
Me: He knows babe. We just have to be patient. (Welp)
Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my own world I start to feel like I am the only one waiting for Cooper to speak. His brother is waiting too. Melted my heart.
