I think that Cade may have given the best farewell talk I have ever been to.  He was funny, and heartfelt at the same time.  And when he choked up about leaving his dad for the time being, we all got choked up right alongside him.  But talk about a missionary who is prepared, and ready to serve.  I cross my fingers that my boys (and hopefully girls) will be equally as prepared.

And I made sure to carve his name on the missionary tree — right under Jake’s name.

We were all trying to get in as many hugs and kisses as we could, to mask our sadness.

But there was no acting with this girl.
Her devastation was written all over her face.
