One of the many benefits of being a mother is being able to watch a tiny wonderful human develop into an amazing person. It is like opening a treasure box every day to find new treasures. It is exciting and awe inspiring. I love that this young man is my son. It is an amazing adventure of new discoveries to be with him.
Just this week, I was away over night for work and Derek shared with me that he got "bored" and decided to "transpose" one of his favorite new songs from the new Star Wars movie. The song is, "Rey's Theme". I loved how he spent his time.
I come from a family that has extreme musical talent from my mother and her side. One is a professional opera singer and travels the world and has been a guest tenor soloist with the Mormon Tabernacle choir singing Handle's Messiah for Easter just a couple of years ago. That same cousin also played the cello for the Chicago Symphony.
I wonder what Derek's future holds in store for him. Most important about him though is that he has courage and is kind. He loves our Heavenly Father and our Saviour Jesus Christ. He also loves his family. He also demonstrates on a regular basis a high moral compass and a very strong power for discernment between what is right and what is wrong and what is evil and that which is of the Spirit.
I love you Derek and I am so humbled and honored to be your mother.
