Sometimes I feel a little pessimistic about raising a family in the condition of our world right now. I pray for the strength to be the kind of parent that a righteous child needs in this world. As I read this quote, I felt uplifted and encouraged because I know I can make you feel wanted and loved. I've never wanted or loved anyone as much as you, besides your father. I love you.
"It is the parents who can give children the kind of love and security which can come from no other source. A child who understands who he is, and who has the kind of home where he feels wanted and loved, has no need to go wandering off to try to find his identity and to search for a happiness he will not find outside the so-called 'establishment.'"The happiest people I know are those whose life-style centers around the home. Work is very important, and success in one's profession or business is also essential to happiness, but remember what we say so often: 'No other success can compensate for failure in the home.' "
N. Eldon Tanner, "Happiness Is Home Centered, Ensign," June 1978, 2

Didn't you love conference? Parenting and raising righteous children seemed to be the theme of the conference. Good thing, because we're going to need all of the advice that we can get!
