Will- You know Grandma Pack gave you this thin white blanket when you were born. She thought it would be perfect to swaddle you in as Grandpa Pack would give you your baby blessing. We had no idea at that time you were born that you would have itchy skin from allergies and it ended up being the perfect thin material that would be good for a baby with Eczema. We also had no idea that you would become so attached to this blanket that you would pack it up into your backpack secretly and try and bring it to pre-school. I let you pack it everyday for awhile, knowing pretty soon you'd feel so big you'd stop bringing it on your own, and that's exactly what happened, although when not a pre-school you still carried the blanket all over the house and slept with it each night. Good thing Grandma bought two of them after finding out it was the best blanket for your skin and that you liked. Luckily I can wash one and there is still one for you to sleep with each night, but during the day you have decided that the huge kitten " Butter " which you named to go along with your " waffles", should use it as his baby blanket. For some reason you never pick up this cat without first wrapping it in your blanket that you were wrapped in as a new born! You think it looks cute and probably like to make me smile when I see you holding the cat in your baby blanket.
You turned eleven on the 23rd but your more thoughtful to me than most people, so I know you are going to be a good man of God when you are not just eleven, because you are now!
My neck was hurting a few days ago and when I said so, you asked if you could carry my purse, and then gave me a lecture about how I don't need to carry all those things with me, but I know you want me to do as I would like because when shopping for a new swimming suit for you on your birthday, I asked between a few which you wanted and you stopped and said while looking at me, " Mom, which one are you wanting me to choose? " and then you said the one I wanted.
You told me yesterday that you think it would be scary to have lived when Jesus was alive, and you want to meet Him the most but you wouldn't have wanted to be there when they did " those things " to Him and killed Him. I am glad I live now with you here too and that we can meet Jesus face to face later, because at this time there is a lot we can use and do to help Jesus in His work.
Will, Your sister has been at Aunt Audrey's for 10 days and you have never complained once or said it isn't fair she is with her cousins. You love when other people are happy and you even say on a number of occasions that you love how happy Waffles always is. You are the only one who plays with Waffles and you help us all start playing with him because you even like the dog to be happy.
I know you will have a happy life always as you keep the faith in Jesus Christ that you have now and serve in His church and Priesthood.
Love, Mommy💝
