Heart Full of Sadness

Right now I'm sad, why you may ask, my cousin Wendy passed away on the 30th of April. Ever since I heard about it I've felt sad, but have still gone about my day to day business. One thought that keeps entering my mind is what to I really have to be sad about, Wendy was 10 years older then me and lived down in Utah so I only saw her once a year at family reunions. Her funeral is tomorrow and because we have school and work we can't make it down there. Every time I did see her she was so sweet and loving to everyone. Reading everyone's remarks about her and especially her husbands account of the last few days makes my heart ache even more. I am very thankful for the knowledge of families being together forever through our Heavenly Father's plan and am so thankful that my grandparents taught their kids about the importance of being sealed in the temple and that all my siblings, cousins, and I have been born into the covenant and have been able to meet good spouses and be sealed to them as well. The side of my family that is suffering through this lost truly are all amazing people and I love them all so much.

Again I love my family and everyday am thankful I have Tim here by my side to help me through this time.
