I love you the purplest is a children's book my sister always gives moms when they have their second child. It's simply a story about two boys who ask their mom who she loves more. Her response is clever. She states she loves one the purplest and one the bluest.
I wouldn't really understand this story unless I had two children. I love both Lauren and Alex equally and yet very differently.
I was talking with my mother the other day on the phone when she overheard Alex being crabby. She then responded "remember how darn happy Lauren was?". I've blogged about Lauren's happiness over and over but I don't think people really believe it unless they got a chance to experience it. The upcoming week is going to be really hard for me. It's going to be hard to celebrate Alex's birthday when it is also a reminder that Lauren should be there too. Someone is missing. I was thinking of having Alex do a balloon release for Lauren every year on their birthday. Something so commemorate the fact that it is Lauren's birthday too.
I had a dream a few weeks ago that was incredibly vivid. I saw Lauren in heaven. She was perfect. Beautiful and chubby and happy. So happy. Then the thought came into my head "HE makes all things new". I actually looked this up when I woke up and found it in the book of Revelation in the bible. I then preceded to sing to her. Lauren always loved to be sung to. I sang "Puff the magic dragon" which was one my own mother sung to me when I was little and I've sang thousands of times to the twins. I will always love Lauren the purplest.
