This is such a creative way to hold a big B-day party!
It was so good to have you there in Orem with your new family and towatch you all grow together. You are (hate this term but--) a veryspecial Spirit. Even when you were a very young girl you had a spiritabout you that was sweet and wholesome and helpful in your home. Jackwas lucky to find you. You were always a delight to your family andnow you are in your own family.
I miss being able to see the Shirts, Metcalfs and Wilson gang on aregular basis. I know I was blessed for the time i had there with all of you. We now go different directions but in our hearts we stay united.
You are developing all the good attributes of your mother - a kind andcaring, sister, friend, niece, sister and now wife and mother.It was delightful to watch you mother Jackson. He will keep you on the run for many years. (helping you keep that trim figure) Now #2 will add to your joy and commitment.
You may not understand, given you are 3rd generation in the Gospel,but it is so rewarding to see your generation true to those principleswhich we know will bring you happiness and peace in spite of theturmoil in the world around us. Stay true to the faith and all WILL bewell. You will have sorrow, and pain and challenges, but you also haveall the resources you need to not only deal with them but to over comeand go on to all that is promised - crowns of glory.
Family IS forever and you have all the ingredients. Cherish them and enjoy them. May the Lord bless you and your family.
With love and best wishes for many more happy birth anniversaries.
