Shortly after Uncle Heber returned from his mission he visited our family. At the time we lived in a small house on our farm in the Clark's Fork Valley in northern Wyoming. I would have been about 4 years old. Uncle Heber had been to, I think the county fair, where there was a carnival and had won a small sawdust stuffed toy deer which he gave to me. The body of the deer was made of a rough sort of velvet fabric in a buff color. I loved that deer with all the energy of my four year old soul. It went everywhere with me. . .to bed, playing with my younger sister, hiding behind the lace curtains, playing with the dog, across the yard to play with my cousin, in the car, drug through dust, etc. It was a well loved, well used toy for the short few months of it's life until, during our family's move to a larger two story house on a newly acquired portion of our farm, my deer was "lost". Undoubtedly it was probably filthy, germ infested and incomprehensibly disgusting. . .except to me.
I mourned the loss of my deer for years initially because of it's play value and later for what it represented. That gift from Uncle Heber was one of the times in my life I felt "seen" and valued by someone who was bigger than life to me. It was so very typical of his interactions with all he met or knew regardless of age or station.
Eleven or twelve years later as a 15 or 16 year old I had just learned about parabolas wondering how this concept would ever have application in my life when Uncle Heber was again visiting our family in our two story house on what was now a large farm and ranch. During discussion at dinner he explained the math involved in launching an astronaut into space and the value of a parabola took on a whole new meaning for me. That conversation was one of the keys that opened the door to my understanding of the value of education and the opportunities open to those who do the hard work of preparation.
Uncle Heber never preached, at least not in my immediate experience. I just always felt loved, acknowledged and encouraged.
