Heartfelt Thank You


To My Dear Sweet Children

I don’t know of a grander call than the one with the title of Mother.

To be your mother is one of the greatest joys I’ve ever experienced, right alongside being the wife of your magnificent father. I often wonder what I did in the pre-mortality to deserve such richness in this life. I have a loving husband and beautiful children who love the gospel and understand who they are. What more could I ask for?

Thank you for your love, your obedience, and your faith in our Heavenly Father.
I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon and the testimony it bears of our Savior. It answers so many questions about who we are, where we’re going, and how we can get there. It is a treasure beyond measure.

My heart is full of the knowledge of the divinity of our Savior and the eternal truth that we are sealed as a family for time and all eternity. What a heartbreaking afterlife it would be without my family. I just hope I can be as wonderful as each of you are. The examples you set for me are priceless.

May I live up to the measure of my creation, with the love and support of my incredible family.
I love you all with every fiber of my being.
I love being a mother.
I love being your mother.

Update:  years later all children married to wonderful companions and I have 20 precious children!
