As some of you know, my brother Trevor has left to go on a mission. He is serving the Lord in Colorado, Colorado Springs. It isn't the easiest thing to drop off a missionary, especially if it's one of your favorite people on EARTH! Life isn't nearly as sweet when Trevie's not around but we do have a little comfort.... And we call him, Jophes.
Isn't he wonderful?
He's still my bud... but just a little..... Lifeless?
The same happy smile... Well aside from a few water marks and a little fading.
The wonderful idea to make a little friend until Trevor came home, was Josh's. But that wonderful plan was carried out by me. When we got home from a long and one-seat empty ride from Utah, surprisingly I had enough energy to fulfill the task. Trevor was stuffed with a pillow, some rolled up blankets, a small bath towel and a little bit of love. We brought him almost everywhere! I woke him up every morning for a couple of days and then sat him down at the table, on the couch, or on a chair with a good book! He was also brought to a family swim party... he didn't swim, don't worry. Our whole family had a blast, as they welcomed a new friend, to the family!
But of course you're asking, "Are they seriously replacing this dummy for their own family?!?!" my answer would be no.... we're just filling an empty and lonely space until he returns with honor. :)
