This is the letter that I wrote to Matt for Father's Day.

Dear Matt,
It is 3:13am on the morning of Father’s Day and I am just finishing up baking bread for the sacrament, getting the Nursery “Singing Time” activities complete, finished making a “Father’s Day Craft” for the Primary kids, just booked flights and Rental car for the Lyman Family Reunion, and a few other household things…in between all of this I realized that I forgot to buy you a Father’s Day card, so instead, you are getting this letter. It has been nearly 8 years that we have been married and almost 3 years that you have been a father. I couldn’t have hoped for a more amazing man to have spent my life with, and to be the father of my children. You are incredible, you are sweet, you are thoughtful, you are gentle, you are funny, you are sincere, you are compassionate towards others, you are handsome and charming, and I am so in love with you. I love to watch the way you are with Lilly and Grayson and the joy that you find in being their daddy. They know that you love them, and it is so comforting for me as a mother to see the confidence that they have in knowing that they are truly loved by their dad. The example you are to them will have such a huge impact on their lives and will influence the way that they treat those around them. Thank you for the amazing example you are to them. Thank you for the way that you serve others. While it is sometimes a challenge to be alone with the kids while you are so busy with your calling as Branch President, I know that what you are doing is serving our Heavenly Father, and that our lives are truly blessed because of the sacrifices that you are making. Thank you for the
