A Precious Gift--Never Forget Janessa & Hope Abigail

The mention of my daughter's name may bring tears to my eyes, but it never fails to bring music to my ears. If you really want to show me that you care, let me hear the beautiful music of her name. It soothes my broken heart and sings to my soul.

"If you know someone who has lost a child, and you're afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died--you're not reminding them. They didn't forget they died.

What you're reminding them of is that you remembered that they lived, and that is a great gift."

Remembering Steven--May 31st, 2009

Today it has been 3 years since my friend, Julie's, life was changed forever. 3 years ago on this date her beloved husband, Steven, was killed in a terrible car accident. I was horrified for my friend, but, I didn't really know how to help her besides pray for her and her family and let her know I was thinking of her through hugs, words, and cards that I sent months and months after it happened.

Little did I know that 9 months later Heavenly Father would give me an experience like Julie's so that I could have true empathy for her. Our grief is very different, but, the grief journey is similar and we have found comfort in helping each other through our hard days. I have been able to help her in a way that was not possible before I loss Janessa.

I have remembered her sweet husband in different ways, I plant yellow flowers in honor and remembrance of him, on my fence that first Christmas I made a J for Janessa and an S for Steven, I released a balloon and this year I am wearing a yellow bracelet in remembrance of Him. Others may move on and forget this very hard day for you Julie, but, I will never forget. I remember with you and weep with you this day and all of your hard days.

Steven, we miss you--please watch over my angel babies Janessa & Hope in Heaven, as I watch over your beloved wife, Julie, and your precious children on Earth.

Be Still and Know that I am God

Sometimes God
Calms the Storm . . .
Sometimes He let's the Storm rage
and Calms His Child.

At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel's end-no dawn to break the night's darkness. . .We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.

-President Thomas S. Monson

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
