Wondering if you know...

                                                                                                                             
Husband, I wonder if you know how much I appreciate how hard you work to support our family. How each morning you leave at the crack of dawn and don't come home until well after dark. I wonder if you know when I look at your pillow where you rested your head for a couple of hours, I know how tired you must be. I wonder if you know that even though I'm well into vacation mode and you are drowning in your busy season I still miss you. I wonder if you know you are the love of my life.
                                                                 
First born, I wonder if you know how much I admire you for your faith and courage. For your happy personality and your ability to press on even during hard times. I wonder if you know how much I enjoy talking with you and how excited I am to spend time with you. I wonder if you know what an example you are to me and how much I love you.
                                                    
College boy, I wonder if you know how your smile melts my heart and how having you home for the summer fills me with joy. I wonder if you know what a mature young man you have become and how proud I am of you. I wonder if you know how your dry sense of humor keeps me on my toes and always laughing. I know you know I love you, but I wonder if you know how much.
                                                   
Missionary, I wonder if  know how I miss having your sweet spirit around and how your humility keeps me grounded. I wonder if you know how I miss hearing you play the piano but how pleased I am you are serving the Lord. I wonder if you know what a great job you are doing and how each Monday I look forward to your emails. I wonder if you know that even though you are so far away, you are kept close to my heart. I love you.


The pictures are from a fishing trip the guys took last summer before everyone went their separate ways.

What handsome sons you have. Where is your missionary serving? Are the others living at home?

Sister,
I wonder if you know how blessed I feel to have you as my dearest friend? I wonder if you know how much I cherish the times we are together and wished we lived closer so we could hang out more. I wonder if you know that when I say my prayers, I thank the Lord for giving me the most beautiful, kind, thoughtful, generous and loving sister to be my best friend and confidant. I wonder if you know how special you are to me and to those handsome men in your life! Well, if you’ve ever wondered, wonder no longer! You are amazing and I love you forever!
