I just read the comments that my girls wrote about me. Today is my 75th birthday and I spent the day working at the Temple in Salt Lake and isn't that the best place to be on this day??
Tonight I received calls from my children to wish me a great day and then I got so many emails from family and friends as well. Then before retiring I looked at the blogs that my girls have and they mentioned my birthday and wrote so many neat things and so to me I'm just so proud to be their mom, and a mom to just about the best kids in the world.
Someday when I leave this world, I will leave with all the memories my children have given me that have enriched my earthly life. That may sound kind of spooky to some, speaking of leaving this world, but it isn't to me. That's cause we have the gospel of Jesus Christ as the center of our lives which gives us the true meaning of why we're here and where we go after this life.
I'm just so grateful for the opportunities to serve my Savior in the things I center my life with these days. I just love working at the Temple and the Family History Library each two days a week. This is a great life and I'm so excited to be here and have the experiences I enjoy.
Thank you, Lisa, Regina and Theresa for the tribute you've given me, and all I can say is, " Is that really me????"
