A member had us over for dinner last Monday night....When we arrived this little fella came running around the corner. Made me happy to see this little guy. His name is "Kitty..." Yeah I know....I thought the same thing.... Italians Suck at giving things names. Haha.
Pretty Incredible View if I do say so myself. Seen a snake......Almost Died. Hate Snakes......but the view was nice.
Had to get that "Classic Pose" picture up on top of the hill.
Felt on top of the world up here. I thought that if I looked really hard maybe I would be able to see Tremonton.....but 8,000 miles is a little too far for the human eye to see.
I am so lucky to know so many wonderful Mothers. From Grandparents, Aunts, Cousins and Friends. I know so many wonderful Mothers. I hope you all had an amazing day yesterday. I hope that you know truly how Special and Influential you are. I love all of you Mothers out there.
Mother's......We all have them. We all love them. We all want to live with them forever. We love their cooking. We love their examples of charity and humility. We love them because no matter what.....They always seem to be there for us. We cherish the memories that we have with our Mother's. Mother's always see the best in their children. They always see the best, but more importantly they want the best for their children. I was blessed with two of these beautiful things that we call Mother's. One I was only blessed to live with for 4 years...2 months...and 23 days.......That was all the time that this Mother needed to have an impact on my life forever. I feel that everyone that ever knew Momma Mandee was impacted for the better by her. Her smile could radiate for miles, and I tell you what...She could pull on my ears better than anyone since ever has. She was incredible. Each day I strive to make that little dark haired lady in Heaven proud. Now at the end of our 4 years, 2 months and 23 days together here on the earth....She returned home to our Father in Heaven. Losing her has been my biggest and greatest trial.......That has been the hardest thing for me to deal with my entire life. Through my biggest and hardest trial......has come Tyke's and I's biggest blessing. This blessing was the opportunity to call another special young lady "Mom". Losing one Mom never really gets easier. There is this hurt that sits deep inside of me and I am sure that this will never go away.......but having another person to call "Mom" has soothed that pain a little bit and made that hurt...not hurt as bad. Momma Kelli stepped right into to a very difficult situation. Tyke and I alone are enough to drive just about anyone crazy......but for some crazy reason Momma Kelli always stayed around......and she did more than just stay around. She has shown Tyke and I pure love since the day she walked in our lives. Momma Kelli has only ever shown us nothing but pure love, the same love that Momma Mandee showed us while she was with us. Momma Kelli has never tried taking Momma Mandee's place and she never will. She has just shown us more love than Tyke and I deserve. I am blessed to have these two beautiful, incredible and loving women in my life. Tyke and I both are. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. Have they made mistakes? Absolutely.....But they are perfect enough for me. I know that I have a Mom in Heaven that hasn't left my side since The Morning of August 26th, 2000. I know that I have a Mom still on the earth today that no matter where I go, or what I do.....She will never leave my side either. The two moms that I have been blessed with were and still continue to be the perfect fit for what My Dad, Tyke and I needed and still continue to need. I wouldn't want anyone else. I have been blessed with perfection with Momma Mandee and Momma Kelli. Personally I think that when this life is said and done.....and we are all in Heaven together......Momma Mandee is going to be standing there with her arms wide open. There is going to be a tear in her eye and I know that there is going to be a tear in ours..... The first person I think Momma Mandee is going to hug in the life after this one....is going to Momma Kelli. She is going to hug her and simply say...."Thank you for taking care of my boys." That is what I believe is going to happen. We can't change what has happened no matter how bad we may want Momma Mandee back. As of right now....She is needed on the other side, and Tyke and I need Momma Kelli with us right now. I love these two with all of my heart. I love them more than they will ever know. They are both incredible. I cannot wait for the day....when we will ALL be together. How happy that day will be.....I love both of My Moms. I am who I am today because of the influence that both of these special ladies have had on my life. I was blessed with two young ladies that were a perfect fit for me, and two ladies that have showed and continue to show me love from both sides of the veil. Where would we be in this world without the special people that we call....." Mothers ".
