All That I Am....

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Wrights Sacrament Mtg. to hear them report on their mission to Sweden. One of the speakers quoted Abraham Lincoln, "all that I am, or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." I looked at Matthew and thought, not true.

Since that day, I have thought about Lincoln's statement a lot. I can't say that it's true for any of our family. What is true, is that what I am, whatever that is, I owe to you and Dad. Dad and I have often said that we think the Lord entrusted us with you, hoping we wouldn't get in your way. I'm sure there have been times that I have gotten in your way, but you overcame those times.

On the other hand, I have learned and continue to learn from all of you and your families.

So this is my Valentine gift to all of you. A sincere THANK YOU for the kind of people you have become and for teaching me and helping me along the way.

Love to all of you!
