Untitled...

On a night when I really don't want to talk about much I need to say at least something.  I watched my daughters tonight - caring for each other and wiping away each other's tears.  I watched Heavenly Father's spirit circle around them and fall gently upon them.  How thankful I am that he blessed me with 4 amazing kids.  3 of them carefully, tenderly caring for each other - and a 4th yet to be told.  Sure lucky - sure blessed - sure aware of the goodness,and hope and love that exists between them.  Lucky for us we have sweethearts like Mike and Bethany and Ryan M. - who felt the pain equally as much in our families circle of love.  Aware very much today for the kindness that can heal all heartaches, the love that tightens the bonds of our family and the assurance that tomorrow will be a better day.  I am proud of you all - and I love you all very much.

PS - Mandy thanks for my screensaver - I keep breaking out into, "Send in the Clowns" no - wait "Whosedat?", no wait - "Sparkley Fingers".  You just bring your own sunshine don't you... thanks for bringing it tonight...

I love you little pistachio... please send us a walnut soon ok?
