Whoever wrote that song, never had to leave their 2nd son at the MTC. It was so much harder this time. I know that having 2 sons on a mission will be a sweet blessing, but I think one of the reasons I was so sad yesterday was my reconciliation with the passage of time. As I look back on those years when Spencer and Taylor were small, it couldn't possibly have been more than 15 years ago...it feels like it was just yesterday!
The chapters in our family book when all 7 of us were home together are written and done, but I can look forward to the unknown, exciting adventures in the chapters that are yet to come. Just give Gary and I a few days to mourn and wander aimlessly about. I know when we get that first letter from Taylor at the MTC and another great email from Spencer in Pennsylvania, our hearts will be comforted and we will be grateful.
I wouldn't want them doing anything else in their lives right now, but today, I just miss my little boys.

Taylor looks great! I can't imagine how hard it would be to have two sons out at once. You are the best mother of boys. It's so sad when the familiar days start changing. But, you have so many wonderful days ahead. I hope you get your first letter really soon! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
