The Talk

The talk went well. I cried alot, of course. I know that I would as soon as he told me the topic. I didn't even use the talk that I prepared, which is really weird for me because I usually never stray from my planning. I talked about my family growing up and how I really looked up to my parents and really want to be the mother that my mom was to me, very strong and patient. How important the dinningroom table is. I have some of the best memories at our dinningroom table, all the conversations we had there and still have there. Then of course I had to talk about my brother in-law, Ehren, who just passed away last year. How strong my sister is because of the
knowledge she has that they will be together again. I also talked about how it is so much harder when you don't have that knowledge, like Ehren's parents and how they think that they will never ever see their son again. That would be so hard. Then after I cried a ton and no one could understand me, I'm sure. I talk about doing genealogy work for those family members who have already pasted on. I talked about the new family search website that my dad was showing Chris and I this weekend. As he was showing us what he has been doing, he realized that he never sealed his grandparents to eachother, he thought that he had. He was so excited to find this. He printed it out and that will be the next thing that he does at the Temple. He will probably go this next weekend.
I think it turned out well. Even though they probably couldn't understand half of my talk. Oh, well.
