It looks like it was as hard for Dad to see me go as it will be for me when my boys go. This gives me some comfort for some reason that I can't explain.
Yes, Mark it WAS very hard for your Dad to see you go. Very hard. And he still admires you so much, and thinks of you every day, as do I. AND, it's a good thing I was the one taking this picture at the MTC, or you would have seen my tear-stained face as well! Did you know that for the entire 1st week after the day this picture was taken, I just laid on the couch and cried much of the day? A part of me had just been ripped right out---and I missed you so much!~ I still miss you-in my heart even now, Mark=----but you are content and happy, and that makes up the difference for me. You are such a good Dad, and a sweet husband. You care so much for Elizabeth and your children and it shows in everything you do. You life is good and full; filled with so many bountiful blessings of the fruits of the Spirit---blessings you brought with you to this life because of the precious Faith you've exhibited since childhood. You are stalwart and true Mark, and the Lord loves you for it. So do Dan and I. More than we can find the words to say. mom
