"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Happy Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is always one of my favorite days of the year. This was a very very hard day for me this year. My sweet little people make me all kinds of fun pictures and special gifts, they do a wonderful job at making my day special. I remember doing things like that for my Mom and she loved it too. We went to sacrament for the Mother’s Day program and I cried through the whole thing. We had to come home early because Josh was flying out to California and we needed time to get him to the airport. Josh went away for a while to a treatment facility to get some help and had to be there by that Monday morning so he had to fly out on Sunday. I was excited and sad to see him go. I knew this was the only way our marriage was going to survive and the only way we could keep our family together. The kids had lots of questions and wanted to know where he was going and why and I left it very simple and said he was going away to learn how to be a better Dad. So there were lots of tears when we took him to the airport and a lump in my throat that stayed the whole day. I got home and cried and cried and then got myself together and we went to my parents house for lunch. We had fun at my parents and the kids got their minds off of things and it turned out to be a good day. All I wanted was a nice picture of me and the kids together, I got one, although my little boy was stinker in every picture. Happy Mother’s Day to me, one I will never forget.
