"Beautiful Boy" (Happy Birthday, Sean)



Dear Sean,

Happy Birthday, you "beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy."

We like to listen to this song every now and then before we fall asleep at night -- and think of you, "darling Sean."

Can't wait to see you ride your bike! See you soon . . .

With lots of love,

Grandma Becky
Grandpa Scott

He wondered. His son had arranged the place for them in town And he was ready. He sat down On the rock that knew his body Better than the front room chair. Could it really be fifty-five years ago That sitting right there They had talked? His father’s voice had never left him: “Heber, I’m trusting to you The most precious thing I’ve got. I worked hard for this land. You know all about The crickets and the Indians and the drought, And the buckets of sweat it took To make what you see ...

I had several Vanatter family names with me so we could do all aspects of temple ordinances, from baptisms for the dead, confirmations, and ordinations, to initiatory, endowment, and sealings -- sealings of spouses, and sealing of children to parents. Actually, it was my mother and one of my sist...
