My Mother-in-law just came into my room for the 6th time in 15 minutes to ask if I had locked the doors downstairs. I remember when she drove 360 miles from Anchorage to Fairbanks when I had shoulder surgery, stayed in the hotel with me until I could fly back to my home on the Yukon River, and the drove back to Anchorage. So I patiently say, "Yes, the doors are locked. You can go to bed now. I love you and Heavenly Father loves you. Good night." I am grateful to Heavenly Father for the chance share the love He has shown me with her this Christmas.
