To my husband, Kent

I have been thinking lately if either one of us died what would you want me to say to your children? You know when people are dead and gone they say to their kids. Dad would have wanted you to do this or that or he is watching you do???? I was thinking that I would like to know your opinion and share mine with you as what to say to our children if one of us dies tomorrow. Something we can do this weekend when we have alone time maybe on a wheeler ride after Marissa’s game? I keep trying to live each day as if it were my last and tell you that I love you forever. I know that you hate every thing right now. I am sorry but you are doing the right thing by taking care of us and earning the money all by yourself. I appreciate being able to stay home and try to take care of you better. I am so sorry that it is just so far away. I will love you forever and will see you soon. Love you me.

Marissa

I AM SCREAMING RIGHT NOW!!!! I NEED YOU TWO GET YOUR DRIVERS LICENCE NOW!!!!!! I will help you with your Walt Disney power point but I don’t know when….I need to be to Garett’s game K….. Love ya mom.

Garett

Thanks for making me see how awesome you are and that I need to see the good in others. I also wanted to tell you thanks for trying to keep up on your homework even though you are busy with Lacrosse. FUN,FRIEND,and FREEDOM is your motto and you need a balance of all. Your choices will make these 3 F’s hard to come by and I hope that you realize that wanting a job is a great thing right now but it will even cut more into the 3F’s….Summer Math class is going to be a great opportunity to keep on track to go into an even harder study year with sports in the wings. I know you can do it and we will master this working together thing…..maybe….I am here to help you and I know how you HATE school and homework but you need to get through it…..Heavenly Father is giving me a second chance right now to get an education that I needed before I had you kids. I would have been a better mom and well rounded person if I had gotten this wealth of knowledge sooner. It is so important to love knowledge and let it help you on your way to MONEY you will some day have you just try and you’re your dad take care of the money right now K Garett. Love you mom.

I was glad to see you taking charge of your commitments and being responsible for this scout camp. You are the cutiest thing I have ever seen k next to that Calvin spit fire this last week he takes ALL the cake… It is important to obey the laws of the land at ALL times. Heavenly Father will bless you and keep you out of law trouble if you do…..Life is hard enough to have the earthly problems after you also. Thanks for always helping me without complaining and trying to keep up on your homework. THANKS for all you do mom.

I so appreciate you doing all your homework every day. It made me happy when we got home so late from Marissa’s hurt arm that you still sat down and did your homework you even got up this morning after get home late again and did it before you went to school. I wish we could all be like you and get it done NOW instead of later. Your dad just called me he isn’t happy about climbing towers. Hopefully he can be a postman soon. I want to do something fun with just you and me on spring break so be thinking of what we can do K? Love you mom.
