In Honor of Tea

My sister-in-law, Tea has just finished her first month as a "Weekday Widow." Her hubby, JusTea, has been in Law School and is only home on the weekends. Tea also had a baby during this time, so she's One Amazing Lady!

"Keep Calm and Carry On!" is Tea's family motto. She has it posted, and also written on the wall in a strategic location. I've heard her kids recite it, I've heard the Young Women in our ward (congregation) talk about it, after Tea taught them the beautiful simplicity of it and I've been influenced for the better, by Tea's example.

Tea really is someone who KEEPS CALM. She parents with a quiet, loving voice. She is raising her kids (mostly alone, at this point) in a peaceful, sweet environment. Maybe more importantly, she CARRYS ON!! Others might not be able to be a single parent, yet remain so supportive of their husband leaving for school, all week. She continues to serve others through church. She is involved in her kids school lives. She is One Amazing Lady and I am so proud she is my sister.

Thank you Sarah! That was very sweet. It actually brought me to tears (which isn't extremely hard to do these days, but nonetheless it did). The only way I am managing is because of you and the rest of the family. I really couldn't do it without the support I feel from all of you. I'm so grateful. So, keep calm and carry on. Tiff
p.s. I have those pictures ready for you. I'll get them to you today.

Wow, I'm going to post that one on my fridge. I do fine with the "carry on" part, but the "keep calm" part could use some work. Hooray for such a celestial sister-in-law.

Tiffany is super duper woman. There is so much I admire about her. I will throw in my big fat "amen" to all that you said.
