Words cannot describe the feeling of being reunited with your son after 2 years- elated, thrilled, proud, emotional,excited, glad to be a mom of such a righteous boy, so moved to have given the Lord my best for 2 years, so glad to have entrusted him in the Lord's care, so glad to have my family back. Friday was a bit of heaven on earth. I some how want to freeze time and never let this moment pass.
I got the first hug. What a grand hug it was. I cry now thinking about it. Angela put together a DVD of Spencer's whole mission experience. The dropping him off at the MTC, his mission pictures, the reuniting at the airport, and the walking up to the stake president's house to be released. I have watched it a half dozen times and still cry every time. How do you describe these feelings. My little boys wonder why I'm crying. They say "were just excited not sad". I tell them I'm not sad but have a hard time describing my feelings. I think this feeling is only reserved for mothers.
My daughter put it well when she said "this must be a little taste of what it will be like when we have our grand reunion in heaven". Thanks for the pictures Angela!

This is a great post. Spencer, thanks for being the kind of son that makes a mother this happy!
Awesome!
Oh Belinda, he is such a darling boy! I kept nudging my boys during church so they would pay attention to a "Perfect" missionary talk. What an amazing kid...not surprising coming from amazing parents!
how exciting! I loved watching my brothers walk down that hall in the airport and just dying to hug them! Such an amazing time!
Dear Belinda, you deserve all the happy moments a righteous son and daughter can bring to a mother. And with that said, you will have many of such moments.
Spencer looks positively dashing!!
