A Brave Boy

One of my favorite stories is that of President Eyring's father battling bone cancer and kneeling by his hospital bed.  This is just a quick synopsis and probably missing a lot of important detail.  In any case President Eyring talked to him about it and his father discussed something he had learned.  If memory serves he was asking Heavenly Father about the trial he was going through with cancer.  The impression he received was this:  "God needs brave sons and I must be brave".  I have thought about that a lot and I realize that I need to be braver in many areas of my life. 

Andy showed me what it means to be brave today.  We headed up to the pool for a Family Home Evening activity and had a great time there.  Andy decided he wanted to try the slide.  I had to go first and then be there for him in the pool.  It was fantastic.  We ended up going a few times.  Such a brave boy.
