Mothers Day

I couldn't help but think of Jennifer today... Even before Jenn and Jeff had Aidan she was a Mother. To her family and friends she was a nurturer. She always had a listening ear, a thoughtful gift, good advice, and a genuine concern for others. She had a way of understanding the youth and always made her home a welcome place for them.
Still I remember that Mothers Day was often hard for her without having a child of her own. She waited so long to be a Mother. Then she and Jeff were blessed with Aidan! She cherished every moment with him as a baby and growing up. She loved to make sure he looked "spit spot" that his hair was combed and styled. As a Mother in Zion she made sure to teach him the gospel and to keep the commandments. She taught him to love nature and animals. With Jennifer and Jeffrey being so outgoing and social... Aidan was too. She taught him to enjoy good food - I was always amazed at the things he would eat that many kids would never eat. She taught him to be kind and caring to others just like she was.
I know she would want us to remind Aidan of how much she loved him here on earth. "Aidan although you can't see her she loves you - forever. Her heart is still full of love for YOU! She still wants the same happiness and blessings for you and she will always be smiling down on you from heaven."
