Come on, do it.
OK.
Corbin!
Our house is full of energy.
It is fun.
We are always doing something together; that's what it's all
about for us.
Oh, not that hard though, boys.
If you hit your sister, I'll be mad.
The kids really require a ton of attention and I honestly
don't know which, the boys or the girls, require more.
Corbin asked me the other day, "Mom, how come the girls don't
have any chores?
That's not fair; only we have chores."
I asked him what exactly he wanted his sisters to do.
We had a problem.
The girls go to school and we would have to push both of the
girls out the back, kind of four-wheel it down the stairs
all out to the street there for the bus, and they have a
three-minute max, so if you're not out there,
they'll leave you.
Some people at my church noticed that we had a need and
they put together this crew.
We saw a need.
Melissa, she needed a ramp built for her
two handicapped children.
We all caught the spirit.
We wanted to do it the best way.
We didn't want to just build a wood ramp for her. We wanted
to make it look like it was part of the house.
I am a youth leader in our church.
We were looking for an opportunity for the kids and
ourselves to serve people, to have the spirit of Jesus
Christ, to help other people like the Savior would and have
them feel that spirit.
We made friends, we made family out of these people.
To me, Melissa is a hero.
She is somebody that goes above and beyond.
My girls are my life.
My kids are my life.
Knowing that my girls are terminal and knowing that each
day, I wake up grateful that they're still here is a gift
that I've had for 11 and four years now, and they are the
sweetest little spirits you'd ever meet.
I love my girls.
And for people to come in and show us that kindness and love,
my girls, and not only do this ramp, but come in and talk to
us and get to know us, and they loved my
girls just like I do.
They loved us.
Awesome, let's see.
She was very giving to all the kids and gave them hugs and
told them how much she loved what we did and she also felt
like she was given too much.
I think that the message is pretty powerful that Heavenly
Father asks us to do good to one another and be kind to one
another and help each other and we're very, very lucky.
We're very blessed.
