Last weekend my siblings and I were able to pull off a gift of a lifetime for our Mother's birthday.
She attends the Las Angeles Temple faithfully every weekend.
We contacted her husband Reed and made certain that on Saturday July 21st she would attend a 12:30 endowment session.
Unbeknownst to our mom, we coordinated so that all us kids flew into the LAX airport that Saturday morning. We waited to go to the temple until 12:45 so that we would not run into my mom in the changing room, and then the four of us did sealings. We then went into the Celestial Room where we waited for my mom to finish her session.
And when she came into the room...ALL of her children were standing in a row to greet her.
(one happy, shocked and elated momma bear. not sure what to do with herself!)
Oh how I wish we were able to capture the moment on film.
It will be a moment in time that I will forever cherish.
What a sweet and special thing, that is a memory that you will have forever! There is nothing better than being in the temple together as a family!
