I am not sure if this is too personal, but as I said earlier this is doubling as a journal (which I have not kept up like I should). On Saturday we attended Richard's grandmas funeral and after the funeral there was a chance for an open mike and naturally Richard went up there to share his thoughts and feelings. As he spoke he was giving memories etc. and then he stopped to say that he was sad that his children would never meet his grandma, Mootie. However he said that he felt that she was up there with our children, loving and watching over them. It was such a spiritual moment for both of us.
Then today my aunt-in-law came up to me and told me that she had had a recent experience which she felt very strongly that her mother (who had passed away) was taking care of the spirits which she miscarried (she had 2 miscarriages in between her 2 children). She told me this because she said that our ancestors were probably doing the same for our dear children. I have felt this very strongly; that our children are where they are supposed to be and being loved and taken care of by our ancestors.
Knowing this is such a strength to Richard and I. The second best thing to raising my children, is that our righteous ancestors are there to love and watch over them. At least I do not have to worry about where they are and if they are ok. It is such a tender mercy of our Heavenly Father to know that our children are in the best place possible and watching over us.
"The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live." --David A. Bednar
