I Believe in Family

I believe in family.  I don’t know why, but as soon as I was off my mission, I wanted to get married and start a family.  We didn’t wait to have children because we wanted children and so we had John B. 13 months after we were married and then continued to have children every 2 years until we had Ginny, who entered this world a little early, at 28 weeks.  She might have been our last, but during mom’s graduate school days she decided she wanted to see if she could have another healthy child.  So we got James and he completed our family.  5 kids in 10 years and I was finished having children when I was 32.  Nowadays many married couples start having kids at 32.  To me family is what is important.  I love my kids and the spouses that have come into our family.  I love my grandkids.  I worry about all of them and wonder how will they grow up and what will their lives be like.  I pray for inspiration to know how to be an influence for good in their lives and also to know what to write about in my blog.  I want so much for all of us to be together for the eternities.  I have faith that we can be together and I know that if we are true and faithful to our covenants we will someday continue in a family relationship, enjoying all the happiness and I believe even a greater happiness than we enjoy now.  I believe in family.
