I only had one brother to grow up with but was lucky enough later on to have my older sister marry someone who fits right into our family! Like I said, in a post about Sara I was able to live with them for about a year and during that time I got to know Clay in a whole different way then I ever knew him. I grew to understand what a kind, and solid guy he is in the Gospel. He and Sara helped through one of the toughest times in my life when I lived with them and I developed a great deal of respect for his willingness to let me move into their home and love me even in difficult times.

Since we have moved to Maryland I haven't been able to spend as much time with Clay but I still cherish him and the relationship we have. He told me a few years back in a conversation we had about some decisions I had to make in life that I was his sister whether by blood or not and he loved me just like I was always his sister. I know that he meant that and that he would always be willing to help me if I needed it.
During that same time that I lived with them I remember a few conversations I had with him about decisions I needed to make, some about marrying my husband, and I always valued and appreciated his advice so much. I knew he truly sought out the Lord's help in helping me!
