Brook Allen and Family


Mom and dad,
As I sit here trying to put words together of how I am feeling at this very moment I can’t help but to say thank you so much and I love you. As I reflect back on my life and where I am at today, the only word that keeps coming to mind is family. I could not do what I do or have been able to go through what I have been through without the wonderful blessing of a strong family unit. You both worked so hard together and made this family who we are today and I may be a little biased, but I think we are awesome. Thank you so much for always being there for me now and when I was younger. You just never know what curve ball will be thrown your way, but you have taught me that you can overcome any obstacle by having a strong testimony of our Savior ,Jesus Christ, and that he lives and loves each one of us individually. That if we just have faith in him, endure to the end, then we will have everlasting life. What greater joy than to know that we can be with each other forever. When I think back on a memory I have had of growing up there are several things that come to mind. There is the many basketball games played on our homemade court, the hide and seek in the dark while you played cards with Pat and Jack, the blowing snow, chopping wood, jumping off the garage into the snow, the snow football games, coming in from playing out in the snow all day and mom would have cookies just out of the oven and hot chocolate, the sledding on Richey's hill, dad taking us out in the country on Sunday afternoons and teaching us how to drive stick-shift at a young age, the list could go on and on. I could not have asked for better parents and a better life than what I have had and will continue to have. I am truly grateful and blessed to have such amazing parents and the coolest brothers and sister. I love you mom and dad and thank you for all that you do for me and these precious kids of mine that I just love more than life itself. They love there Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds more than you know. I love you.
Brook
