Our sweet boy is all grown up. It is crushing my heart, literally, to know that he'll be leaving us soon. I used to think that I'd move through the steps of life somewhat gracefully. Instead, I'm stumbling like I just learned to walk. And I'm falling and it's hurting. No one told me how much I'd fall in love with someone that would inevitably leave me. Jaden graduates in a month. He's going to BYU in the Fall and then he hopes to serve a mission. He is going to be great. At whatever he chooses to do. And I'll stand back and, with pride and gratitude, remember when he was mine.
Thanks, sweet Jen, for the most perfect memories of him. I'm so grateful for you.
It happens--kids grow up and leave! I'll never forget how Dad and I and your brother and sisters sat in the Joseph Smith building after your wedding dinner and just cried. We were totally happy for you but knew this was the first breakup of our family being just our family. However, we can't forget our Family Motto--Life is an Adventure!!!
