We were sitting in Sacrament yesterday and Lincoln (who is two and a half years old) was being silly with me and put his cheek against mine and we were both laughing. As I inhaled I could smell his nursery snack of animal crackers and goldfish and I immediately realized that this was my favorite scent in all the world. Its the sweet smell of childhood and innocences that immediately brings a smile to my face. I thought about how quickly he has already started growing up and he won't smell this way forever. Even though I can't stop time I can influence the type of men my boys will become. It is my personal mission to "raise em right". "Above all else, children need to know and feel they are loved, wanted, and appreciated. They need to be assured of that often." -Ezra Taft Benson
