This morning we are all getting up and ready. It is so hard to put on our brave faces and deal with the death of a small child. We have been so blessed to be friends with the Adams and we know that today doesn't end their trial, as her absence will be painful throughout this lifetime. We so desire to carry and support them in their loss,and just love them so much. Thankfully we have the gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that their family will be together forever! This knowledge makes this day bearable.
Dallin and many boys from our ward play on a select soccer team, so I thought it would be nice to share the picture we sent in to the Mara's Team web page. They had been gathering pictures of family and friends in their Mara's Team shirts for Mara to see, it made her so happy. Mara didn't get to see this one, but we thought it would be a nice way to show more love and support.
I remember going to a small child's funeral a few years ago. The emotions are so overwhelming, saddness mixed with awe to have been in the presence of a spirit so wonderful that they completed their mission so early, i am so amazed that our religion can inspire such a strong range of emotions, all at the same time! We are truly blessed with the truths we know.
