Ben asked me for memories - I don't have anything specific - but I do have a lot of fondness. Since the very first moment we met (when Ben brought me home for Thanksgiving from BYU two years after we were home from Germany), all I have ever felt from you is love. You have made me feel a part of your family, not just a friend. Quizzing me on my German, just like one of your own children (and making me realize how much smarter you are than me!) :) Every time I see you, your warmth radiates from you to me, and it makes me feel so loved and supported.
Also, I have a lot of gratitude. Honestly, after the gospel and my little brother :) Ben is literally like the most important thing in my life. He is the best friend, and support system a person could ever ask for. He came from you. He is who is he, in part because of you. I am so thankful that you have molded him into the man he is today. I know his, mine and your opinions may not always be the same (understatement) :) ha! But I am eternally grateful for the gift of your family you have given me. Not just Ben, all of your family has made my life better and more full. There is nothing I could ever do to repay what I feel.
I hope this birthday finds you happy ~ and you know how loved you are! Always in my prayers, Lisa
