Mother, I love you;

Mother, I do.

Father in Heaven

Has sent me to you.

When I am near you,

I love to hear you

Singing so softly that

You love me too.

(Words and music by Lorin F. Wheelwright.)

Today I thought about how blessed I am to be a mother to three beautiful children. I carried them in me, gave birth to them and have watched them change and grow. Many times the going is rough, but every now and then there’s a sublime moment that I cherish and hold on to. They are precious to me and these fleeting moments are the treasures and riches I will carry with me when I die someday. I am also grateful that I have a mother who loves me and did her best to teach me well and instill in me a sense of character, respect, honesty and integrity. I hope I can instill these same values in my own children.
