them. Today was no exception. Our sweet Jessica is 7,500 miles away as we, her Mom and Dad, celebrate birthdays these next couple of days. She is such a tender heart, and has always made our birthdays extra special. Although, miles and miles separate us, she did it again! This morning, there was a very timely Facebook post from Jessica's mission president loaded with pictures of Jessica. My eyes filled with tears. The pictures made it seem like she was almost here ---almost! Even though I would love to have her home as we celebrate, I am filled with gratitude this year, for the special gift she is giving us as parents as she serves her Heavenly Father... full-time!. In all honesty, what more could a parent want as a gift for a life-time of birthdays? Thanks, Jessica for "Coming into our Home" today, for sharing your sweet smile, and for giving us a gift that is eternal in nature. We love you to the moon and back!
Here are a few of the many photos President Lopez posted on Facebook, this very morning, pretty sure... just for me :)!!
