This week has been a busy one. I was feeling a bit down, missing my children and I texted one of my sons a simple "I Love You!" He quickly replied back and said the same, and asked if I was ok. I told him I was missing my kids today. Later in the afternoon, I got this deliver at my office!
They arrived on Wednesday afternoon, and I kept them in my office until Friday. The card simply said, "I love you Mom". What a great feeling to have your son send you flowers "Just because". These are the little things in families that brings you closer together, even when you are far away. Hoping to see my son Justin, and my other two sons at Christmas this year. Only one that will be away would be my daughter that is on her mission.
Now yesterday, I got to spend time with a different family. This was my "ward family" on our youth temple trip. Our ward had the largest turn out yet, 21 youth and adults in a long time! Taking the youth to the temple is a wonderful time to spend and for them to understand the why we go to the temple.
For me, this was a great way to spend time with my ward family. Since I can't be with my own kids right now, I get to share in the joys of others. We can be family to those that don't have family or to those that need support.
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone!
