As parents we pray and fast for our children that they will be healthy and strong physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually and that they will make the right choices. Sometimes our prayers are answered quickly and others take a long time and are answered in different ways.
Witnessing our sons receive and honor the Melchizedek Priesthood in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, even in later years, is a blessing and answer to our prayers.
We've prayed that our children will be happily married to good spouses.
Through the years our prayers for a healing blessing have not been answered as we'd like, but the Lord does answer our prayers and knows each one of us and blesses us in other ways. We recently received a blessing and answer to our prayers as we witnessed our oldest daughter marry her cherished, best friend, despite health and disabilities issues.
His love, compassion, tenderness, and dedication are evident by the way he treats and cares for her.
We faithfully continue to pray for our children and know that the Lord blesses us beyond our imaginable dreams.

What an incredible day for you and your daughter. We wish her and her husband all the joy and happiness possible. They are an adorable couple. Your yard work truly paid off and it looks wonderful. We will need to see it for real when we come home. Our love and best wishes to all of you. This will be a day to long remember and enjoy.
