Today is my parent's anniversary. They were married on the shortest day of the year, December 21, 1957. I am so blessed and grateful to have them for my parents. They did a great job of providing for all of us 8 children physically, emotionally, and maybe most importantly spiritually. One of the things that I appreciate most is that I was taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and if someone were to ask me, "When did you gain your testimony?" I would have to say that I somehow just always knew the Gospel is true. It was lived in my home. I remember my dad asking me almost daily as he did most anyone he passed by on the street, "What do you know?" The answer was "The Gospel is true." Really, he had little kids who he walked by on his way to work trained to answer his question. My testimony has grown stronger all the time by the experiences that I have had but how thankful I am to have had a great start. Thanks Mom and Dad for being such great examples to me. You are my heroes for the day! Well, actually you are my heroes for my whole life. :)
