4t3

Sometimes I am so creative. 4t3, I could very easily have just left out the t but that wouldn't have been as fancy. Well the message of the title is that I have reached the ripe old age of 43.  Hard to believe I know, but it is true. When I was a wee lad I used to think 40 was so old. Here I am at 43 realizing just how young it really is.  It is a wonderful thing. Maybe I am just a kid at heart and mind. It was a great day for a birthday. 

I may make reference every year around my birthday to the fact that the best birthday gift I could ask for is the safe return of my children. I have enjoyed that gift this year as well.  I did not sit alone today at church. It was wonderful and it was equally wonderful to see big Jack pass the sacrament.  I am grateful for family and the time we share together,
