One Last Week with JQ

My third son, JQ, is leaving next week and won’t be home for two years.
I have one last week with him and then he is gone to be “all grown up”.

In my patriarchal blessing it said my children would “grow up around” me.
I HAVE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THAT “GROWING UP“.
It has been such a blessing to have my JQ here around me, almost 24/7.
He seriously has been such an easy son to love and to raise.
JQ, thank you for that.




I mean, I wouldn’t mind him staying another 18 years, 24/7 around me.
Really… I wouldn’t mind.
But as everyone agrees, JQ would mind.
I pray when he gets home in two years, and he is finding his way in life
JQ’s way will be very close to our way.
I love our JQ.
It brought tears to my eyes!
Thanks honey. Those pictures seem just like yesterday, don’t they. Love you.
