We finished all these names. |
Although Bossy and Gamer have spent many evenings in the temple, this is the first time they had done sealings since they were sealed as a family back in January. The cool thing is that it is pretty much the same ceremony. I love listening to those beautiful words and promises.

Bossy's high school friend is burying her newborn tomorrow after a heartbreaking loss. Life is just so fragile. We need to appreciate what we have. I'm the queen of wrapping myself up in too many activities and projects. Am I really listening to what my kids say? Am I telling them I love them often enough? Am I taking the time for a hug or a laugh or a spontaneous adventure?
Life can just change so quickly. Hold on to what you have.

Wow! What a wonderful way to spend time! That reminds me that I have a few names we need to finish up! Hugs to Bossy's friend. What a tough time.
Life is indeed precious, losing my mom when I was a wee one taught me that no matter what you do or say it could literally be the last day on this earth..I never understood kids thru my years in grade, high and college saying they wished that their mom was gone, I told them no you would definitely not..I thought most of the moms of my gal pals were wonderful to them and myself..I saw that life was indeed fragile and quite quite SHORT indeed..That heaven must be wonderful and that the family you are lucky enough to have here is absolutely wonderful and to be grateful, kind and loving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do know that I need to pause and enjoy the moments more. I do think we get running around so much we miss some of the sweet times. Losing a little newborn would be so difficult. My grandson who will turn 16 in August just lost his best friend in a helicopter crash; I feel so sad about it.
We love doing sealings and I too love to hear the words. I think that was a sweet moment to share with family.
Hugs!
