Thoughts.

There have been a lot of thoughts and feelings running through my head lately. How grateful I am to be settled, how I LOVE being close to family again, how I miss my friends in AZ, how I want to kiss my washer and dryer everytime I use it(going without these two amazing machines for 2 months was quite the challenge), how I love our new humble little home. But above all, my thoughts are deeply focused on this special week.....a week that I would've gotten to meet our sweet Kai. Yet above the sadness, I feel him close to me at this time again. I haven't had feelings of loss or sadness until just two days ago. I was confused because I have felt so strong and emotionally stable for a good 3 months now. I happened to look at the calander and noticed that this week would've been the week for him to enter this world. I love those newborn hands, their smell, their feet, their tiny spirits. I would give anything to hold Kai this week but I turn to the heavens and know that I get to hold him in my heart for a lifetime and throughout eternity. I will think of him even in my old age and love him as any mother loves her child. I love this song....it makes me happy....because after all "eveybody needs to love" and "to be loved" I love you Kai!

I am very touched by what you wrote. Though I haven't experienced exactly what you have, I still feel for you. What comfort the Atonement and the knowledge of the resurrection and eternal families can bring to our hearts when we long to be with our loved ones beyond the veil.
Your faith and strength is a great example to me.
Please stop by and say hi the next time you're in Ellensburg, k! We're still in the same house. We love you!!

You might not be able to hold Kai, but HE is holding you. Your love for Kai is felt by him and in return, his love and thanks for you will be made known to you in the quiet moments when you feel his spirit.

Thinking of you with love,
Uncle Don
