To my children...

I Love each and every one of you so very much! I want it to be immortalized here on this family record that I feel so blessed to have you in my life! I am so grateful that I chose to have each one of you! The Lord really knew what He was doing sending you to my family and I thank Him everyday for that! You have blessed and enriched my life so very much! I cannot imagine my life without you! It is such a joy to see you grow and learn and make choices. I am so very proud of you and all that you accomplish! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being forgiving and for always giving me your cuddles and smiles! I love knowing that you are my children and that I have had some part in your growing up! You amaze me everyday! Please keep it in your heart...my LOVE for you! Of all the inhabitants of this Earth I am MOST richly blessed to have Leavi, Jaydn, Kole and Kyzen as my kids! Thanks you for being you and thank you for the rich spirit that you bring to our home:) All of you have been such a great example to me of how kids can turn out when they have a knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ! You are surely watched over by your Father in Heaven and He has sent you at this time for a great purpose! I am excited to see in the coming years how you develop and what more you bring to this life of mine! Always remember that I have a strong testimony of the Savior, Jesus Christ, and His redeeming love for each one of us! I know that He died for my sins . He is my one TRUEST friend! I love you fiercely, unconditionally, deeply and most importantly FOREVER!

Side note: For those of you that are not my children...and are reading this I would have you know that I felt compelled to write this for my loved children this day(prompted if you would)! I feel like we don't tell our children enough how special they are and about what we believe in. I write letters to mine now and then but with this blog I am blessed to be able to keep a sure record of it for them...one that hopefully won't get lost in a box! If something were to happen to me they can keep this and know how much I thought about them and loved them I would encourage any of you out there , even if you don't have children yet, to write a letter to the sweet ones, they have a lot to learn and a harsh world to learn it in...the more love the better from loving parents. I never heard my parents talk to me about these type of things and my mom never wrote me a letter telling me about her deepest thoughts so it is for me to begin this tradition and legacy! It is so important to keep lines of communication open and to pour your heart out to your children...give them more than enough loves and kisses...they can never have enough! NEVER! They may look at you and roll their eyes but they are getting it...I don't know... mine don't roll their eyes they just smile and nod and say"I know mom" But they are getting it and that is a gift that they can take with them for the eternities...unlike anything material we can give them. It is s gift of the spirit...long treasured and one that cannot be corrupted or lost:) Even though we are not perfect here on this Earth we can love and we can give of ourselves to those most precious. Our heavenly Father does it for us!
