Lately I have been thinking about the wonderful man I married. The past 3 weeks have been a little un-nerving and stressful, yet this good man just carries on. Sometimes I know his mind is far away...so much to think about and decide in the next few months! Yet, he just carries on. One foot in front of the other, and only little panic attacks now and then! I marvel at his ability to think things through. I know we will be fine. I have every confidence in him.
A few weeks ago I had to prepare a talk and I ran across a talk I gave a couple of years ago about fathers. Let me quote from it, "I asked my oldest son if he could tell me something that he had learned from his father. Something his dad taught him that Reed probably didn't think he was teaching him. Doug said that his dad taught him how to suck a Rolo so that it would last longer. I found that interesting. Why would he remember that?! The more I thought about it, the more I realize that it wasn't the eating of the candy that was taught. It is just in Reed's nature to make things last as long as possible. That is the message he gave out. As a result of time spent with their dad, my boys prefer to lay on the floor to watch TV. My Daughter reads voraciously, and they all follow his example of faithful church attendance, pay their tithing and enjoy going to the temple." I am so grateful for the good example Reed is to me and our children. Thank you, hon. I love you very much. Happy Father's Day!
