My Family is Amazing!

At a time of such a sad tragedy that is happening to the Ellsworth family and all those affected by the plane crash, I can't help but think of how much I love and appreciate my family. I have no idea what the Ellsworths are going through right now. I can only imagine. I have been thinking about how if I lost any one of my family members how devastated I would be. I have put myself in their situation in my mind and I just start to cry so hard. If I were ever to lose my dad, my husband or my son, I would not know what to do with myself. I don't know if I've ever truly expressed how I feel about them to them.

Dad, I love you so much. You have been such an example to me about how to be faithful in the Gospel. You are so strong. You have an amazing heart. I couldn't have asked for a better dad!! You are my hero! You have supported our family and always made sure we were happy and taken care of. The qualities you have I looked for in a husband. You set a pretty high bar for Adam. Your compassion and love are amazing. I don't know where I'd be without you leading and guiding me through my life! Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for your support. Thank you for everything!! I love you.

Adam, you know that I love you with all my heart. You are my knight in shining armor. You support our little family like crazy. You are willing to do whatever it takes to make me happy. You even take the blame for fights that aren't your fault. You are my love, my life and the father of my children!! You are such an amazing spectacular dad with Cayden. The love that you share with our son is so wonderful to see and witness. You truly are the best husband! You cook and clean and love me!! You have changed my way of thinking about myself to a place that I feel pretty and confident. Thank you for all you do for me. I love you Adam.

Cayden, my son. Even though you can't read (and won't for a while..) I want to write about how much you mean to me. You are my life. I love spending every day with you. I love watching you explore and try new things. You even climbed up on the couch to be with me this morning. I love that you love me! I love that you always want to sit by me and play. You are truly a momma's boy and I'm proud to say you are mine! We have so many years ahead of us, but I don' t want to take a single moment for granted. Life has its unexpectances. But I want you to know that I love you with all of my being. You have stolen my heart and are the cutest little boy. I pray that I will be here for you forever. I pray that I will be close to you when you're older and that you'll always want to come to me with your problems. I want to be your best friend about all others!! I can't wait to be with you while you experience life! I love you Cayden.

To the rest of my family: I love you! Thank you for your support. Thank you for your love even when I don't deserve it sometimes!! :) I love my family. I am so very grateful for the Gospel and the fact that we will be an Eternal Family. Sorry you're stuck with me :) And it'll forever be that way. Don't think you're not special because you didn't get your own paragraph. You will eventually.. You all know that you are special to me!! Each and every one of you!!

Family is forever! And that statement couldn't make me any happier!!!!
