Yesterday marked the 33rd anniversary of my parents' marriage in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They were married on May 20, 1980. Not only were they married in the temple, they were also sealed for time and eternity. About a year after their marriage, they became new parents to four beautiful daughters they had raised in the church. Despite the trials they went through together, they never stopped loving each other or left each other's side. And they never stopped serving their families or the Lord.
My sisters and I are very thankful for our parents. Without them, we wouldn't know what to do. We're grateful to have a mom who can teach us to be beautiful, kind and extraordinary women that we are today. She has taught us to be loving mothers and faithful wives to our husbands. We're also grateful to have a dad who has helped us understand the perspective of men so that we could be sealed to our husbands in the temple for time and eternity. He's pushed us to keep going even when things get tough.
Because of their love for each other and the Lord, we have never been apart. This family will never be torn apart as long as we love, respect and serve each other and the Lord.
Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad! We're lucky to have you as our parents.
