I found myself wondering today how my family will turn out when they’re all grown up. Will they be happy? Will they like each other? Will they keep in touch? Will they marry good people and make good marriages? Will they be good parents? Will they be good citizens? Will they find good occupations that they enjoy? Will they make covenants with God in the temple and keep those covenants? Will they be happy?
I look around at my sibling-family and my wife’s family. We sort of keep in touch. We live in different parts of the country. You like some, you like others less. You miss them all. But no one has time to take care of their families and keep up with siblings across the country. Some made good marriages. Some less so. Some in-laws you like. Some you don’t. Some you like, but they don’t like you.
I wonder what the family will be like in 10 years.
