And He goes.....


It came. The day I dreamed of, hoped and fervently prayed for. You chose to serve. You chose to dedicate two years to God. You chose to go forth and spread the Gospel truth.
I saw the change. I witnessed the spirit working within you. My heart rejoiced and peace stayed for a while.

Then it was time. You entered the MTC. We took you there and goodbyes came all to quickly.Only this time we left you there and my heart cried.
Reflections of a lifetime journey-walking with you.
A thousands memories, pave the path from infancy to this door.
My aching heart knows that things will never ever be quite the same as you grow in faith and hold God's hand. For you will leave as a boy, my son and then come home a man.

Oh how I will miss your face and those tender hugs and smiles.
And so for the next few years I will hold this handerkerchief and let it catch those falling, grateful and lonely tears.

Tears of Joy, Tears of missing you and most of all Tears of love.
