IT WAS MARCH 3rd, 1998 when I started to realize
this could be serious; Kristy Richards and I were seated on the tailgate of my
Chevy pick-up truck, and I asked her for a date.
The single adult conference was going to be over soon, and I
did not want the day to end. Kristy, feeling the same way told me the problem;
she had already scheduled a date with Aaron Egg, my younger brother for that
evening. I knew what I must do, so I stepped away from Kristy and called my
little brother.
“Aaron,” I dove right
in, “you know Kristy Richards, right?”
“Yes, sweet girl”
“You have a date with her tonight?”
“Yes, why?” Aaron said.
“I am here with her at this single adult conference; I’d really like to take her out on a date
tonight. Would you mind?” I said.
“JJ, you take her out; you’ll probably marry her.”
Kristy and I went out that night and were married on May 20th,
1998, just a little over 2 months later. We didn’t know it then, but we had
just over 4 years left with Aaron before he went back home. Enough time to be sealed to Alissa and Julia,
fulfilling promises given him in his patriarchal blessing.
Happy Birthday Aaron; I hope you know the good you’ve done. Your family misses you greatly. We will see you again in the eternities.

I never knew that story....but I did know Aaron. It was at his memorial that I first met you. What a great gift your brother gave you:-)
