It makes my relationship with Heavenly Father more personal, knowing that I'm His daughter, that I can be as close to Him as I can any member of my family. It makes it a lot easier being a parent, as well. Because that's hard. In today's world, trying to bring your kids up the right way is hard. And having the answers that I do helps me make the decisions that I make as a parent. It's like watching my children grow. That's how I always relate it, to my own children. One day they're going to be old enough to leave the nest, and they're going to want to do things on their own. But I'm always going to be there for them. And that's how I see it here on earth. And one day I'll get back to be with Him again.

Yeah. I wouldn't want my children to leave the nest forever. I would always want them to come back to me eventually. And, yeah, it's the same sort of relationship.
