Thanks, Dad and Mom

I just want to write a short note of thanks to my parents. Thank you for being dedicated to each other over all the years. Thank you for doing the hard things. Thank you for caring enough about each other and us, your children and posterity, to want us to be sealed in the temple. I reflect on that experience quite often, even though it was over 50 years ago. Thank you for staying active in the church when it would have been so EASY to drift away into complacency. Thank you for your example of selfless service, even anonymous service. I have seen many of the quite, undetected acts of service you have given to others, and it has made me want to be a better man, myself. I have even started giving candy bars to people I home teach. Thank you for teaching your posterity right and wrong, and for being examples of love, kindness, dedication, work, and steadfastness. Thank you for all the love you show your posterity. I am so thankful that my grandchildren know you. My kids only knew two of their great-grandparents, and I feel so blessed that my grandkids know you.

Thanks, Mom and Dad. Speaking for my clan: We Love You!
