Feel Better

My entire family has been sick except for my husband, he is the only one who got the flu shot, the rest of us got the flu or strep. It really stinks because we have a long weekend and I had some fun things planned. It is also Daniel's birthday and we had to cancel the family party (actually postpone 2 weeks) because our extended family is sick also.

Yesterday my daughter and I took Allen to work. On the way home I was complaining about how bad I felt. I told her that I really just needed to rest. Her response was 'Mom we should get donuts, Donuts make us feel better!' I succumbed, of course, but to make myself feel less guilty we bought some orange juice to go with them!

Parents

I sat eating lunch with my Dad and Mom today and thought about how quickly life passes. They are such wonderful people. Each of them has unique talents and characteristics that I hope I have inherited. I am so thankful for them. They have provided me with so many life's experiences, wisdom listened to me ramble on about everything.

I read this quote today and thought of Allen's parents and mine.

"Your parents, with their maturity of years and the experience you have not had, can provide wisdom, knowledge, and blessings to help you over life's pitfalls. You may find . . . that life's sweetest experiences come when you go to Mom and Dad for help."
President Ezra Taft Benson

I don't think I will ever be 'to old' to need my parents, and I hope that they know I will always be there when they need me. Love you Mom & Dad!
