The last few days have given me time to reflect on where my life is at, and the people and relationships that have molded me. I feel that a few words of gratitude are in order:
First, to Linzy. You are my shining light and I love you. I am amazed at your strength and resilience. I am humbled by your ability to maintain a soft touch while juggling so many things at once. Your example, your kindness and your love have made me a man that I could never have been on my own.
Bishop Bowen, thank you for your example of kindness, leadership, spirituality and gospel knowledge. I will always cherish the memories of coming together to try and understand what needed to be done, and what was the best way to do it.
Ryan. Your example of quiet service has blessed my life in so many ways. Your gifts are many and varied, and I am awestruck at your ability to serve and give without the need for fanfare or gratitude.
Thank you to everyone who has made us to feel welcome in this neighborhood and ward. As the events play out over the next few months, I cannot help but think about how much we will miss you. I have learned so much from so many people, and in learning, have realized that I know very little at all. We love you, and we will miss you.
Best,
Cody
