If my younger self had a wish, an extravagent dream or desire, it could not have reached far enough to know the pure joy, love, satisfaction, extreme humbleness, fulfilment and eternal gratitude I feel when I have my four children together. (A lot of adjectives and a lot of emotion!)
As a young mother, having all of my children in one place was not nearly as treasured as it was during this weekend. January 11th, 2020 was a day to remember and my HEART was FULL. All of my children were gathered together to share a nice meal (tacos of course), share their adult experiences about raising children, building homes, and real adult challenges. As siblings they reunited in love and long distant cousins meet for the first time and played together and life was perfect.
My children have all grown to be delightful adults, loving spouses, kind friends and my pride and joy. And in my heart I know I can be with my family forever. I know with Gods help once again my dreams and hopes for myself will be outdone by the will and help from the Lord. How else could there be a resolution to finding an eternal family with 3 husbands, 4 children, 5 step-children, 5 grandchildren, and 8 step-grandchildren and two more precious babies on the way. And then there is one amazing friend I call my Ex-Wife and an Ex-Wife who is my Step-Sister and I love them both dearly. My heart is full and I believe in miracles performed by the Savior with the help of my Heavenly Father.
Raising my children has been an adventure and I know my Heavenly Father has been with me through every step, choice and decision. My heart and mind has always been set on caring for my children and providing the best life I possibly could for them.
I love and appreciate the loving individuals they have become.
