All I can say is I wish I had been there to experience it all with you. <br /><br />Dick printed your talk out for me, including the first part. I, too, will be reading it over from time to time. He also made a copy for our Bishop, who does read your blog from time to time, but he wanted to make sure he read this. He(the Bishop)is still disappointed thatyou arent' going to speak to us in Sacrament Meeting while you are here, but he does understand. <br /><br />I am still so proud of you, and proud to be your mom.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-65210380147840745902010-05-24T17:49:45.797-07:002010-05-24T17:49:45.797-07:00There is so much wisdom here...

It makes me want to go upstairs, right now, grab the copy I have off the shelf and read it again. <br />Also, I think what you said about not expecting perfection from ourselves is so important. We were never created to be perfect.<br />I can only imagine that hearing this in person must have been so moving. <br />I can't wait to hear more about your trip!
