July 23rd: Change

A decade ago our niece whose family was stationed across the pond came from England to spend part of the summer with us.  She was having a rough go of it (an understatement) and we hoped to give her a break.   I was working on the SAFE HARBORS album at the time and my niece loved music so I arranged for her to sing in some of the back-up choirs.  She did a great job and her spirit seemed its brightest when she was making music.

There’s a song on the album I dedicated to her. The lyrics to the chorus are:   If you could see what I see when I look at you/You would see why dreamers still believe dreams come true/And the vision I’m seeing would change your life too/If you saw what I see in you.

Well, a little over ten years later, and with a great deal of work and faith on her part, she “saw” what so many of us who love her were seeing all along.   Today Lynne and I were blessed to be with her as she went through the temple for the first time.
