My day old child lay in my arms,
With my lips against his ear.
I whispered strongly, "How I wish--
I wish that you could hear,

"I've a hundred wonderful things to say,
(a tiny cough and a nod),
hurry, hurry, hurry and grow
So I can tell you about God."

My day-old baby's mouth was still
And my words only tickled his ear,
But a kind of light passed through his eyes,
And I saw this thought appear:

"How I wish I had a voice and words,
I've a hundred things to say.
Before I forget, I'd tell you of God --
I left Him yesterday."

Valentine's Day!!

Kisses to all! (yesterday . . .) [yesterday] is the day of L.O.V.E. and full of flowers and candy and cards and love and, well, whatever someone, yours or just any someone can do to make you feel their love. for me, i was given many wonderful valentine's gifts! vy smiled at me, she laughed for me, she looked cute for me, she looked cute for my landlords wife, she was so good during my temple prep class, she let my kiss her cheeks, snuzzle her hair, caress her face, and nibble her neck, and she gave me a few more hours of sleep than three! and my hubby gave me his attention - ALL DAY (which is a lot for him who is always so busy) AND he gave me a personalized Mrs. Fields cookie with a wonderful mushy-gushy card accompaniment. but then after that he gave me a Godiva bag which had in it a skewer with strawberries and bananas drizzled in chocolate! why this gift is amazing is because he HATES fruit and chocolate together . . . so i know he wont want me to share with him. hmm . . . i just feel loved - not because of what he bought me, but he wants to make me happy, and he is doing his best and his best is all i need!

for my sister

can U find it? can U find it? there it is!

"im sorry, so sorry . . .

please accept my apology but love is blind, and i was too blind to see . . ."what i wrote here earlier today was thoughtless and cruel. the feelings were truly felt, but the words written were impulsive and set out to hurt. i love ALL my family and i know that they each have lives and things to do. i know they love me. i was hurt, but i know no hurt was meant for me. elisabeth, i am so very sorry especially to you - you and i are more alike than i know and are experiencing such similarities in life. i am so blessed to have you as a sister and role model!
