Dear Husband, you let me sleep in on Mother's Day. Dear Mother's Day, I was awakened by four little voices singing me a mother's primary song with pictures they had drawn for me. The day was filled with lots of hugs and I love you's. The most from my little boy. And a bike. And teaching in church and Avary giving a talk and Hazel the scripture in primary. Dear Kaden, I loooved attending your mother's day party at school with you. You painted me a picture of a butterfly, wrote me a poem, made me a flower, drew a portrait of me (ha), served me pink lemonade with snacks, sang me a song and danced and was silly. I loved it all! You are my favorite boy in the whole world. Dear Mom, I can never thank you enough for all you do and have done throughout my life. I'm lucky and I love you. Dear Elementary Talent Show, you are a thorn in my side. Especially when your 10yr old's partner gets grounded from it for lying to her parents right before auditions. (although I think my child has learned far more from watching her friend lie and be punished than she ever has from her own consequences when lying to me. I like this because it's less work for me.) Dear Old Brother, I have a feeling you had a sweet baby girl join your family and aren't telling anyone. Has she arrived? If she has no one has told me. Dear Briana, my heart feels that you have left this world and I can't keep the tears from my eyes. How grateful I am for our Savior and the knowledge that you will be with your family again. You are so so loved. Dear Stephen & Boulter Family, my heart aches for you. I can't even describe the faith and strength and love that I see in you. Always so welcoming, generous and kind even in your hour of heartache and need. I so wish I could be there with you to celebrate the one you loved so much. Dear Mountain Drive, I love the beauty I see in the world and enjoyed the time alone. Who knew I would ever live near snowcapped mountains in May. ha Dear A, happy birthday, and at disney land no less! Dear Ric, I do believe the fact that you take care of the Lords house brings us blessings.
