On a beautiful spring morning, March 23, 2011, Katelyn entered the MTC. Katelyn, Allison, Riley, Dad, and I packed up the car and met Kelli and Jake at In-N-Out for lunch. Kate said her goodbyes to Kelli and Jake, then we drove over to the Provo Temple where we took some pictures before dropping Katelyn off curbside at the MTC. When we pulled up, some Elders immediately came up to our car and unloaded her luggage and we said a very quick goodbye. She started to walk away, stopped, then turned, and we just encouraged her to keep going. In my heart, I wanted to say...STOP. This is too hard, don't go. Do something easier. But, alas... we couldn't. It wouldn't be fair to Katelyn. She needs this opportunity to fly and make a life of her very own. She will be amazing. It won't always be easy, but it will be worth it. I miss her.
Couldn't have said it better. She's doing great but I miss her so much...
