Family Photo

We had a nice hike today in Little Cottonwood Canyon and took some family photos while we were there. It was a delightful outing! It’s so nice to spend time in the outdoors and enjoy the serenity of nature, especially when you do it with the family that you love. It ties you together.

I also was reminded of the times that my father took us hiking and camping when we were children. We loved to walk through the woods together and sing his Army marching songs “Momma, Momma can’t ya see….” What wonderful memories he planted in our hearts.

I lamented that I would not have the opportunity to discus with him as an adult his view on life, his philosophy, what motivated and inspired him.

The most important thing I suppose is that I knew what he believed by the way he lived. I know that spending time together as a family was important to him, as well as being in the beauty of nature, because he took us hiking. I know creating lasting memories was important to him, as well as reading and learning, improving and serving- because that is how he lived.

And that is how other’s will know me- by the way I live my life. Am I living it the way I would want to be remembered?
