Here's to wonderful moms that still inspire, motivate and send their love even when we can't see them anymore. <br /><br />Just the other day in the temple, well, I guess it's been a couple of weeks...I get blue in the winter and I was thinking about my mom wishing I could wrap myself up in her warm softness and have her love me and in my head I said "Mom, are you proud of me?" and immediately I WAS wrapped up in her warm softness and I heard "Yes I am April, very much."<br /><br />Tears were streaming down my face as I stood at my station in the temple which was waiting in the chapel to take an endowment session through. I am grateful for the sweetness of that moment and for the assurance of eternal love and relationships.April Weekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03690736384789504204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2784464557053873364.post-76104799320480453792013-02-11T01:04:32.077-07:002013-02-11T01:04:32.077-07:00Love you Chrissy.

I have been thinking a lot about your mom for the last couple of days . . . the gardening, the dancing, the skinny-dipping! At our last book club meeting, Jodi Strong chose a book that she felt very strongly your mom wanted us to read. Said she had a "Kim moment" and had this book come to her mind. I can't think what the book is right this minute but the second I figure it out I'll let you know! I loved this post, Chrissy, and I just know that your mom would be so happy to see where you're at right now. If I can speak for your mom (very presumptuous of me), you are a daughter to be very proud of. And FYI, the song playing on my Pandora station at this very moment is "God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again"! How does God arrange for these things?!Sandra and Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15646331957418568279noreply@blogger.com
