A Little Perspective

I am so grateful for the Gospel. I just found out that my grandpa died a few hours ago. He has been on hospice for about a year and has been battling cancer and has had heart problems for some time. He lived longer than his doctors ever thought possible. My grandpa never went to church and never let my grandma go through the temple. With his passing, although it has me somewhat saddened, I am excited for the temple work to be done for my grandparents. Families truly are forever and I don't know how anyone handles death that doesn't believe this to be true. I know that I will see my grandpa again. I am so grateful that I will be able to spend eternity with Brandon and my beautiful children. I think times like these strengthen my testimony to remember where we came from and where we are going. Along with this death, a new life is also coming. One of my best friends, my sister-in-law, Erin, is going to have a baby in a week. She happens to live in Idaho, where my grandpa's funeral is going to be. So while I get to say good-bye to my grandpa, I also get to say hello to my new nephew. Love every minute you get to spend with your family. Sometimes it may be hard when your kids are screaming or tearing up the room you just spent hours cleaning. Life really is short and it will all be over too soon. Tell someone today how much you love them.
