A Birthday Letter to George

July 1, 2014

Oh, my dear George, how I miss you! Today I'm especially weepy, as it would have been your 23rd birthday. I say 'would have been' because I don't believe birthdays have any relevance on your side of the veil. Your mortal body was here for 21 1/2 years. Your immortal soul is, well, immortal! How comforting it is to know that we will again be together as a family, that I'll be able to hug you, kiss that sweet face, gaze upon that cheesy grin! And as I once taught you, you'll be there to teach me.

How I appreciate Heavenly Father's tender mercies. I'd given up all hope of ever recovering your new camera, sent just 3  months before you left us, I found your original camera, but it was without a memory card. I was surprised to happen upon the new one last week. And it had a memory card! I'm sure that it didn't surprise you that it took me hours to find the right code, and then to figure out how to access any stored photos. I'd decided that it must be blank, but gave one more try. 590 images!!! Thank you, George! I stayed up late that night, as I couldn't move from the computer until I'd viewed every photo. Gotta love memory cards, as the photos started with your first companion and ended wtih your last Christmas, just 3 weeks before your mortal death. I wept both tears of sorrow and tears of gratitude as I poured over those images of my beloved first-born son. But I suspect that you already knew that. 

Your death has impacted many people, George. Especially your family. One thing of which I'm especially aware is that I focus even more on eternal goals, and on eternal consequences. Mortality is just a period for us to learn, experience, and grow. You are so very close... I often feel you near me, buddy, and take great comfort in that.

Love you!

Christmas Cookies Taken to a Whole New Level

December 22, 2013

On Christmas Day, 2012, George and his companion, Elder Robinson, baked 318 cookies! It involved several hours and several trips next door, to neighbors Julie & Dave Bishop, for additional equipment and baking advice. The finished cookies were divvied among 30 plates, and delivered to families with whom they were working. While starting out, still trying to get a grip on the logistics of this trek, Bishop Hathaway and some of his children drove past. They stopped, learned of the 'great cookie delivery', and gathered the missionaries and cookies into their station wagon. The cookies were delivered. Many memories were made. And those memories are cherished by all. What a Merry Christmas they had!

We were interested in trying out the restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised!!  It was fun to see the joy on George's face as the workers brought out this monsterous burrito!  We went back several times during that six week period!
