Monday morning for Sunday night:  When we got home last night I didn't even come downstairs.  I had been very wonderfully drained of my energy through the activities of the day, and got ready for bed.  We had driven home from South Ogden with Zac and Aaron and were entertained with constant talk from these 2 young men.  It was most entertaining.  The whole day had been entertaining, but oh, so much more. It was family togetherness at its finest and for one of the finest of reasons.  I learned just how many others share with us in this privilege of  sending Nicholas off on his mission.  We played a part, but there are so many others.  I learned a little more about 'block b'.  It is such a wonderful and inclusive process that we are in.  I hope this helps me do my part more and better.  (First I need to understand it more and better.)  The day was another 'great giver'.  Makes me want to be a better person.  And the long repeated goodbyes with Abigail still tugs on my heart strings.  And another of my special moments repeated several times throughout the day was watching my wonderful wife enjoy grandma time with those little ones competing for her attention.  She is so special and the evidence was abundant at the job she has done in her most important roles of mother and grandmother.  What a companion and what a day!
