Dear Wilson

Dear Wilson,

You are making great efforts the last few months to sever family bonds. You have become unavailable physically by not responding to phone calls, texts or even visits. You have detached emotionally by withholding any information about your well being or daily life. You are attempting to cut ties by making choices you know disappoint your parents and reject everything they value.

But I have bad news, son. It won't work. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, you can do that would make Dad and I stop loving you. The power that binds our family on this Earth and for eternity is God's priesthood and cannot be broken. You are ours and we love you, and there is nothing you can do to break that seal. It hurts very much to have you separate from us, but our peace and joy come from the knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ which assures us that this ends well. So, I'll wait and try to follow every spiritual prompting to demonstrate that I love you and I love The Savior.

Love, Mom
