Happy Mother's Day
I can hardly believe it's already here. I look forward to talking to all of you on Sunday. I remember sometime when I was younger when we went shoe shopping. There was a certain pair of shoes I wanted, but they were expensive, and you wanted me to get a different pair. You kept trying to help me understand that I needed to get a different pair. You kept trying to help me understand that I needed to get a different pair that didn't cost so much, but I kept throwing a fit so you just told me, "Fine get it!" Of course, by that time I wouldn't get it and I got the pair you wanted me to get. At first I didn't understand why I couldn't get what I wanted but I can still remember the feeling I had when you told me I could get what I wanted. It wasn't a good one because I knew it hurt you and the Spirit made sure I knew that. I can only imagine how Joseph Smith must have felt when Martin Harris lost the 116 pages. From that experience though, I grew to have a glimpse of what a mother truly feels about her children even if they are little twerps. You have always been so patient w/me. You were and are the perfect Mother for me. I will always be proud of my Mamacita. I'm eternally indebted to you and grateful for your love. I Love you so much Mom. Happy Mother's Day!!
A Mother is patient, loving and kind
the Kind that you'd hoped for waiting in line
In the Pre-Earth life we anxiously see
Families are chosen, but what about me
Then it comes my turn, not sure what's to be
I meet my two parents, parents of Three!!
They'd been my best friends, for eons till now
We were all so excited we high five'd a cow
Now looking back, anxiously waiting in line
I got my dear Mother, patient, Loving and kind.
Love
Elder Hatfield
