He chose me

"Most likely we came where those in authority decided to send us.  Our agency may not have been exercised to the extent of making choice of parents and posterity." - Joseph Fielding Smith Jr.

 

We met when I was a toddler, all pudgy cheeked and wide eyed.  I'm sure I was just beginning to assert my two year old independence at the time but still he was taken with me.  My mom said it was love at first sight.  She tells me he loved my brother and me from the moment he met us and I know it must be true.  What young man in his right mind would sign on for instant family, not knowing how in the world he was going to support them?

We don't share the same hair color, eye color or even the same genes 

but he likes spicy foods, good books, deep conversations and his Savior. 

We share what matters most.

He loves me like daughters are meant to be loved.
