My dad was called as a bishop a couple months after I left on my mission. A couple months after that, I got to call home for Christmas. In that phone call, I found out a few things:

1) My grandma was in the hospital (she died a month later).
2) My brother had just gotten engaged.
3) Our dog had just died.
4) My girlfriend had a boyfriend (who she married a few months later).

A few months ago, my dad was once again called as a bishop. As you know, my grandpa died last week. And I have a brother with a serious girlfriend. And this afternoon, my mom came home from work to find her 19-year-old chihuahua dead on the floor.

All I’m saying is, if Beth gets a boyfriend, I’m gonna be ticked and freaked out at the same time.
