Luke will get through this because….
he has so many people who love him and support him! Today he made me cry my eyes out. My husband has been trying to help me with the long drive to speech therapy so we’ve been switching off. I was getting everything ready in Paul’s car. I turned to head back inside and little Luke came around the corner. Green striped shirt, hair combed neatly to the side, apple in one hand, chocolate milk in the other. He looked up at me and sweetly said, “Mama, Byeeee.” Puckered up his lips for a kiss. He knew where he was off to. He never complains. He doesn’t have the choice off lounging around in the summer. His work continues every week, everyday, every hour. We practice things all day long. We break words down. We repeat things. We talk real slow. We try to make the words sound right. Sometimes I think he would just like to tell me to be quiet. But he doesn’t. Last week I was trying to help him fix a word. He grabbed my face, said, “Mama” and just held up his I love you sign. Words really cannot describe how this child has changed my life. What a miracle he is. So as I am typing this post, I know he is sitting in the car driving to therapy. I picture his little face. I bet he’s watching Mickey Mouse…
Do good my little man. Mommy loves you more than you will ever know! Mama, Bubba, and Lily will be here waiting for you to get home.

Luke is a real trooper, he’s learning at a very young age to work out problems. It’s difficult for family members and parents to try and understand why God does certain things especially when it involves children who are so fragile. Luke is very special and he will overcome this situation. We all love him.

I can see Luke’s face so proud with his hands full. Yes he works hard everyday because he has a full circle of family around him who loves him and tries to help. But the start of the circle is his Mom who works all the time even when she isn’t a where of it.
I am proud of you all, Paul, Jen, Preston, Lily for all the love and support you give Luke. Here’ to the Krauses–yea!
Love,
Grandma
