I Am Glad For Many Things: Esp. Yang
I am glad for many things, many things, many things, I am glad for many things, that are mine today! This simple Primary song expresses my gratitude for my many blessings. Of all the things that I appreciate in Charles, the thing I love most about him is that he gave me my children. I never in my life thought I would have such smart, well-behaved, GOOD children. I think it absolutely frosted some of the teachers at “the Grove” that y’all were smarter than they were!!!
As we approach Christmas, I can’t help but be ESPECIALLY glad for Yang. Do y’all remember the mailbox that she bought at that little shop at school? She brought it home and wanted everyone to leave notes in it for everyone else. I’m sure she was the only one who NEVER FAILED to leave notes. I have some that she wrote to me. They are precious. I’m sure it disappointed her that we didn’t all leave HER notes everyday. I WISH I had. Yang made EVERYONE glad. I love how she always wanted to be with her family more than anyone else. As y’all know, that was one thing she said in her final journal entries shortly before she passed away. She always wanted us to live in a big house, all of us together, forever.
Thank thee, thank thee, my heart sings, my heart sings, my heart sings, thank thee for the many things that are mine today! (Especially eternal families and my Yang.)
