My husband friend

I had a fun time Saturday. I took Alyssa out to buy her a birthday present, and then we went out to eat. She is such a wonderfully mature girl. She helped me pick out a birthday toy for Mckenzie, too. I am looking forward to our projects we do each year for Christmas together...just me, one on one with my grandkids.

I also got to go hear my daughter-in law teach a lesson in which she had Joette sing and play a song that Joette wrote. It was all so nice. Gary said a prayer in church that was just incredible. We left church early today...I was really struggling, but Gary is so good to me, and I appreciate him so much. He has turned into the best listener these past few months. Sometimes a person (woman) just needs to cry. They don't need anything fixed, they just need to hear themselves think and then they work it out on their own. Gary has been that kind of friend to me. Have a great week.

mom- well you are living up each day anyone would want to at this time in their life- spending time with grandchildren- listening to your daughter perform a song she wrote- listening to your dear sister n law's lesson- hearing Dad say a prayer...

remember what pres. hinckley said about how much life would be for everyone if they were loved like he is- you are loved mom- can't wait to see you-

I'm sorry I haven't kept in touch as much lately. I have a lot of excuses, but no good reasons.

I am here, though, and pray for you constantly. In reading through your last several blog entries, I can't help but think of my mother who at 45 discovered her cancer and perhaps had many of your own thoughts and feelings.
Thank you for continuing to share even when it's not the easiest to hear. We, the ones who love you, need to know.

I do love you.
And I will be there on the 17th.
