These were the gifts I received on mothers day:
Sleeping in
Seeing one of my ‘mother’ heroes - Stephanie Nielson and her lovely family - outside of the temple before we went in to the ward building.
A new book from Evan.
Evan singing to the mothers with the the men in the ward we visited.
Families can be together forever. That knowledge beat so strongly in my heart after some new experiences during the past week, followed by the beautiful sealing of Suvi & Paul, the day before mothers day. And missing Nina added to sensing the reality of our eternal family.
Beautiful weather!
Learning about a sister who is heading up an LDS women’s story project, audio recordings. Right up my alley!
Getting to know another wonderful family and an amazing mother - Shelly Reed. (who we stayed with on this trip to NY)
Taking a nice walk through Riverside Park, past the Ulysses S grant monument, through Columbia University, past a beautiful old cathedral, with said family (after eating a wonderful dinner they cooked for all of us!)
