Three White Suits

Nineteen years ago, we took this cherubic, cherished

young man to the Logan Temple.

Together we knelt at the alter,

and a worker brought Trent

in, and set him up next to us.

When he saw us, he gave us a

grin as wide as the Grand Canyon.

Together, dressed in white, we made

covenants to be a forever family.

 A precious day, never

to be forgotten.

A day dreams came true.

Last Friday, we took this very same young man

to the Las Vegas Temple.

This time it was so he could

make covenants of his own.

 Another precious day,

never to be forgotten.

Another day dreams came true.

The years have changed each of us a bit.

In so many ways it seems impossible

that he is not the sweet little cuddly baby of

nineteen years ago.

Where have the years gone?

Eleven years ago, was another day for covenants

and dressing in white.

As a parent, there is no greater joy

than to see your children walk in truth.

I loved seeing my husband looking so happy

with his arm around his son,

as he escorted him around the temple.

You can't always have what you want,

but sometimes you can.

For that I am eternally grateful to my Father in Heaven.
