I know it has been that long because you tended Sean when he was 4 or 5 and you took him to the doctor to get his immunizations. It is an experience I don't think you will forget. Thanks for sharing your life in writing.

I have always loved that and often think of my own grandmother that way and what she did in bringing the light and the life of Christ back into her family. It seems your mother did the same thing. What a wonderful gift to leave to her family.TnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162171248780617638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014034052886950661.post-10147531861749473182008-03-21T17:56:00.000-06:002008-03-21T17:56:00.000-06:00A big part of my testimony comes from the numerous...A big part of my testimony comes from the numerous days that the hymn Joseph Smith’s First Prayer revolved in an out of my thoughts. The song was just a distant memory from my days in primary but the melody seemed clear as it followed me throughout my day. I remember when I finally confessed this to Charmaine, Mom, she said she thought it was Grandma's way of guiding me, testifying to me that there was more to life if I would only ask for answers. It seems many in our family have been blessed, buoyed up, and influenced through music. I’m grateful to that person that invited my grandmother to church to sing just as I am grateful for my beginnings in primary. I believe what these opportunities have provided is the source of hope and the foundation of our family.carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315901114806034483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2014034052886950661.post-73077949040277701162008-03-21T09:30:00.000-06:002008-03-21T09:30:00.000-06:00You are an amazing woman, Charmaine.
