Do you get any book ideas from your sons'
shenanigans?
I haven’t really
included any of their shenanigans, but I did model a character after Zac. In my
young adult book Roadside Assistance,
Logan, who is Whitney’s younger brother, was inspired by Zac. Logan likes Star
Wars and video games, and his room is decorated similarly to how Zac’s room
used to look.
Amy, please share a special "proud
mom" moment that you had with each of your boys. I'm thinking of the
Scripture that "Mary kept all these things in her heart" and thought
there might be something that even Matt and Zac don't know about.
This year each of my
boys has moved me to tears because of their loving and giving hearts. I’m not
going to use any names in order to protect their privacy.
One of my sons stood
up to a bully by defending another boy who was being harassed. When the bully
called the victim horrible names, my son walked up to the bully and gave him a
piece of his mind. The bully was stunned silent and left the victim alone. I
can’t express how proud I am that my child didn’t stand by and allow a bully to
hurt another child.
My other son was a blessing
to his friend when he needed help. His friend was depressed shared while they
were talking online that he was thinking about hurting himself. My son texted
the other boy’s mother and told her he was worried about him. When this issue
came up again when my son was with his friend, he listened to his friend talk
and even cried with him while offering him
comfort. I had tears in my eyes when my son shared this with me.
I’m really proud of my
sons for helping others in their time of need. I believe my sons will continue
to be a blessing to others.
As a mother, what is your prayer for your
boys?
My prayer is that they
stay healthy and they find a profession they love. I also pray that if they
chose to marry, they find someone who is nice and who will treat them with love
and respect. I tell them repeatedly that love should never make them feel bad about
themselves. I pray with all of my heart that they will be happy.
What was your most favorite book to read to
your boys when they were little?
Zac absolutely loved Big Joe’s Trailer Truck by Joe Mathieu!
He knew it by heart! It’s the cutest book, and I read it to Matt also. We kept
it and will pass it on if they have children.
That concludes my interview with Mrs. Amy. I hope you've enjoyed reading it as much as I have writing it. I want to thank Mrs. Amy for taking the time to share a little about her family and her life. Don't forget to click the link and enter the giveaway below!
