Me Thinks

 

I miss you mom and I think about you so much! 

Thank you for teaching me to love life. You enjoyed every stage, and you smiled your way through each chapter. You found joy in living.

Thank you for teaching me to love children. I cherish the children I have as I know you cherished yours. I never felt like a burden to you. You built me up and provided confidence when I didn't feel it.

Thank you for making our house a home. You put your touches everywhere and we all enjoyed being there.

Thank you for loving literature and music, BYU sports and cooking. We share many of the same hobbies.

Thank you for your firm faith. You always trusted the Lord and turned to Him with every concern, knowing He would hear your prayers and help. Your faith never wavered.

The years pass and the seasons change, and yet I still try to model my life after yours. Of course, we are different and my experiences will not always match yours, but no matter life's happenings, your character and your spirituality provide templates for me to pattern my life on. I know what you valued, and I value it too. I know the direction you were facing, and I try to face the light too. I know you were striving to be a disciple of Christ, and I am trying to be one too.

I love you mom! Thank you! I am eternally grateful for you.
