They changed my life. I would not be who I am today, I would not have my family, I would not have such great happiness if it weren't for them. I consider every young man or woman who serves a mission to be my hero. Thank you for having the courage to send your sons out to serve the world.

But I imagine watching that gangly 19 year old walk away in his new suit is one of the most heart wrenching and wonderful feelings a mom can have. I dread it a little, but also, it is one of the deepest hopes of my mom-heart that one day he will have the desire and worthiness to go. Moms and sons like you and yours make the world a better place.
