Here are some "Pink Notes" submitted by readers
Why she's noteworthy: Well, as I read the book, every time I read a pink note I thought of people in my life that have and do inspire me. It is so hard to decide who to begin with so that is why I titled it #1 so that I can eventually write about the others! I want to start with a very good friend who I met in high school...and then she moved far away. We have stayed in contact through the years, which I am very grateful for. She is such an example and inspiration to me because she has always shown me how to be cheerful and happy no matter your circumstances and this is very hard to do at times! She has worked very hard and has followed her dreams which have led her to great success and I am very proud of her!
Name: Marie Chilton Why she's noteworthy: She is an amazing example. She's going to BYU on a Hinckley Scholarship. She is hard-working, diligent, kind, and has amazing integrity. She accomplishes anything she sets her mind to. She is a great friend, loves others, and has amazing perspective on life. I want to be just like her.
Why she's noteworthy: Emily is a little 14 year old girl who has had leukemia three times in her short life. Recently, in December, she had a bone marrow transplant and is now doing much better. The thing that amazes me is that she has remained happy the entire time. Even when her hair fell out, she simply pulled out the hats and bandanas and kept going. Emily is a really close friend, and I have never once heard her complain or wonder why God let this happen to [her.] She has inspired so many people. She is the brightest, cutest, most positive girl I have ever met! I wish everyone in the world could meet her Name: Amy G. Why she's noteworthy: Amy is everyone's best friend. There has never been a lonely person that Amy does not immediately go and comfort. Amy has the amazing talent of knowing when someone needs a lift-up. Not only is she a friend to everyone she meets, she's the friend that everyone wants to be friends with forever. She's amazing. -Submitted by Suzy J., a reader from Utah, via email Name: My sweet older Spanish neighbor Why she's noteworthy: She parks in the handicap spot at our apartment complex and every day slowly walks out to her car and always stops when we have a window or the sliding glass door open to smile and say hello and especially to talk to the children. Last week she brought my two kids, Elisabeth and Charles, some flip-flop frosted sugar cookies. Just seeing her makes me happy. Name: Scott (my hubby) Why he's noteworthy: He goes to school full time (finishing up his masters degree), works with a civil engineering firm part-time, magnifies his calling in the Elders quorum presidency, plays with the kids whenever he's home and they're awake, helps me (mommy) with bathing the babies and changing diapers and all the other household chores whenever he's available, and for some reason he adores me. He's absolutely wonderful! -Submitted by Elisa S., a reader from Washington, via email Thank you for your submissions! |
