Birthday Girl

Well today is Skylas Birthday. I cant believe its been two years! Even though I was completely heart broken when I lost her I find comfort in knowing shes in a much better place and i'm convinced shes up there teaching her Grandpa and Great grandpa and many other family members what they need for all of us to be an eternal family! So today Me, Josh, and Harlee went and put ballons on her headstone (ugh I hate that word by the way so we'll call it her Eternal Bed.) Josh also gave me two white roses and wrote me this beautiful poem(what an amazing husband right?), its called Skylas promise:

Painful Heart, eyes full of tears
she could not let her go

she wanted her for many years

Her soul would take the blow

I promise mom I'll love you still

I'll do my duty there

If lonely you begin to feel

Just talk to me through prayer

I promise I will be real good,

and do my homework too.

I'll brush my teeth like I should

in a world not too far from you.

I Promise I will do my best

to help others along the way.

kindness ill give to the rest,

and bless them day by day

Your really one special Mommy

on earth chosen to stay.

Now its your turn to promise me

that I'll see you again someday.

-Josh Stockton

So of course I cried after reading that and yes I cried again while typing it!

I love my little family and cant wait til we can be with Skyla again!!

I LOVE this qoute from Joseph Smith

" The Lord takes many away even in infancy, that they may escape the envy of man, and the sorrows and evils of this present world; they were too pure, too lovely, to live on earth; therefore, if rightly considered, instead of mourning we have reason to rejoice as they are delivered from evil, and we shall soon have them again. . . .
