Today as I have grieved for the loss of a dear friends baby...I have had time to reflect on many things. I am so grateful to hug and kiss my kids and tuck them safely in bed. I am glad that I could talk with my children about the plan of salvation. I am grateful for the Gospel and the knowledge it gives us. As Aliza had questions about death today and what happens, it is a true comfort that I could have specific answers for her and not just...I really don't know. I think this is her first experience with death, that she has been old enough to truly understand. What a blessing that Heavenly Father has provided us a way to be with our loved ones again. Which seems so poignant with the loss of a child.
I am so grateful for the comfort of the Spirit.
Today, I have had a constant prayer in my heart... I am grateful that Our Father knew that we would need to communicate with him and provided us a way.
I am grateful for the sealing powers of the Temple and that I am blessed to have that covenant.
Hugging m babies and counting my blessing tonight.

My heart is so broken. I, just like you, went to hug my children, and cried. They will certainly be in our prayers.
I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through at this moment. My heart is breaking for them. It makes you grateful very EVERY second. We miss y'all!!

What a tragedy. I am so sorry for your friend's loss. That is the worst pain anyone can feel. I hope that Heavenly Father comforts them and lets them know He is there.
