My dear Wendy and Jacob,
Dash is 3 weeks old today...!!
Let me express my deepest and sincere gratitude to the both of you for the exemplary parents that you are!! Before Dash was born I kept wondering what this new experience would feel like...would I feel a new kind of burst of love for this new sweet baby or would I see fireworks and hear music when I would hold our first grandchild? I can tell you now that the greatest feeling, other than immense love I have felt ever since meeting Dash, is an enormous profound gratitude in the depth of my soul that this great and important child in my life would have the greatest parents who would take the best possible care of him, who would sacrifice for him beyond their own wants…his parents, who would teach him of the reality of God’s existence, His love for Dash, and the value of obedience to his Heavenly Father. I knew Dash would learn also of the importance of the atoning sacrifice of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the beauty of life to be able to get up and repent and walk straight and tall in the footsteps of Christ. These most important supports in his life would be taught to Dash by his parents never failing example, their leadership in the Gospel. I suddenly felt such a majestic feeling of the importance of what Dash would be receiving in his up-bring, the base for his whole future. How happy I am to have this knowledge and peace within me as I will see him grow up!! I applaud you both for not only preparing so well for his arrival (really, has everyone EVER seen such a greatly decorated, well furnished and stocked baby room??) but for your dedication to the earthly and spiritual well-being of this spirit who has been entrusted to you. There is no doubt in my mind but he will grow up to be a fine and wholesome young man. Jacob, as I have observed you with Dash, I can only tell you: You make me a proud mother! Wendy, you have exceeded any wish or dream I ever had for our son Jacob’s wife and mother of his children! You are a good Mama!! Here then to Wendy and Jacob my greatest compliment: “Folks, I could NOT have done it any better myself!!” (smile)
