"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

Such a "sweet" thought!!!

As most know, my son is diabetic......so here goes the story!!
Last night we were starting our FHE and we were talking about my son's very high number, wondering what he ate to achieve such a large blood sugar number wondering if the Kool-aid affected him that much....and this sweet girl here starts her story!
It goes something like this......
Well, yesterday (saturday) she tried to make sugar free kool-aid for her brother. (Now, she is 8 and loves to make kool-aid, that is after we had to instruct her on which pitcher to use for how many envelopes and how many cups of sugar!) She said she made it for him....and it was horrible. First she put the kool-aid in the pitcher, added the water, stirred it and then poured her and her friend a glass. It was bad she said! So she then added sugar to her cup and her friends and then to the pitcher of kool-aid. She told us sugar free kool-aid was gross!!! We laughed so hard because she had never been taught that it is a separate kind of kool-aid! What a sweet heart to think of her brother!!!
