Miracles and things I know

  I need this picture here, on our family history, to remind myself of an incredible miracle
that God performed for me last Friday morning as I was headed into the temple. I know it
is something that I need to keep in my own heart, but I also don't ever want to forget
my Father's kindness and love and what He was willing to do for me. Especially on a
day that felt pretty numb and difficult. God loves His children. This I absolutely know.

After the temple, I spent some time at my Mom's grave in order to take her some flowers.
I don't go as often as I feel like I should. It is still extremely hard for me to see her name on a
headstone and it isn't where I feel a lot of peace. But because I love her and because honoring
her in this way matters, I still show up when I can. I feel her most when I am in the temple
and for that, I will be forever grateful. As well as for my sure knowledge of where she is at
and how happy and well she is doing. I know I will see her again. I absolutely know it.
