Have you ever thought of someone in your life, and almost cried at the pure joy that this person brings to your life? or how you enjoyed every minute you spent with this person? Maybe you learned more to love that person than to know that person. There are several people in my life that I love dearly that have impacted me to so much good.
Tonight, it was the 18 band members I thought of. Some I will see at BYU, and yet others are getting married and serving their full-time missions. While I know our friendships will never be as "knit together in unity and love" as they were in Nauvoo, I feel like my heart will sometimes beat outside of myself when I think of them. Tonight, dear friends, my tears were for you. I love you!

What a sweet tribute to those people in the band with whom you got to spend your summer. WOrking with and serving others and/or serving with others certainly does increase your love for them. I find that as I serve in a Presidency, I certainly love those I serve with, as well as those we serve, i.e., right now, I certainly love the sisters in our ward as I serve in the RS.
I love you Sister Blake.
