Is it better to marry a really attractive woman or a really smart woman?
Some of us got both, but that’s only because I focused on her intellect and character and didn’t worship her looks. She still turns heads when out running but that is not her focus. As Bishop recently said to me “You are married to a Saint of a woman! I can’t visit anyone in the Ward without your wife having already been there with a gift and encouragement. And that’s the stuff I know about. I find out months later about some really difficult situations and the answer is always the same, your wife was there first, performing the most difficult tasks, and she hadn’t said a word to anyone.”
So when the good Lord finally calls my HCBW home to him, if you should perhaps meet her afterwards, do not be afraid. She will not appear as a haunt in the night, but rather as her true self. As an angel of light, bearing gifts of kindness and love.
