How has prayer influenced your ability to be the kind of mother you want to be?
One incident that still stands out happened 35 years ago. My daughter was 5 and got croup. We took her to the hospital by ambulance and the stayed for a couple of days. The first night home I had the kids in bed and I was getting ready to go to bed when my mom son started to cough. I had kind of a melt-down and as I prayed, I said Heavenly Father, I just can’t do this. I had the warmest feeling of peace come over me. I can’t remember other specific praters, but I know that my children had many guardian angels looking over them. I had amazing ward members who helped so much and we always had the things we needed and the money for needed things. I think there was just an ongoing blanket of protection over us.
