Randy

Randy is Eileen's nephew. He came to live with them just about a year ago. His big sister is Andrea who we grew to love when she spent a few months here a couple of years ago.
Randy gave one of the most honest, heartfelt talks I've ever heard tonight at seminary graduation. He had to chose a favorite scripture mastery from this years Doctrine and Covenants course of study. He chose D&C 64:9-11. It talks about forgiveness. His talk brings out the very reason I love teaching seminary;the youth can truly humble us adults if we listen and learn from them.
We will miss Randy (along with the rest of the bunch of course). These are some lessons I have learned from him over the last year. Don't give up. Don't be afraid to tell people how you really feel. Be willing to learn something new. Be your own person. Accept change. I hope he has learned a few lessons also. Someone needs to lead. Sometimes you have to walk away. It is ok to cry. Never trust the neighbor who digs holes in his yard at midnight. Never watch Lifetime movies with Nana.
