Old Lady Alert!!

Happy Birthday to Me!
My students all think that I am 11, not really but they play along with it.
This is a hard birthday, being the introspective person that I am. What have I accomplished? What have I done with the time I have spent here?
Maybe this thought thread is due to the fact that President Hinkley passed away yesterday and he was one of the prophets I served under during my mission and made an amazing impact on my life.
Gailon has only known one prophet since joining the church, so this is even more interesting process for him.

I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my
fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.
I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.
I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."
