The Conrad Family: Gathering leaves or killing trees...

Gathering leaves or killing trees...

Noah and Talia were to involved with carrying their water bottles and finding more rocks to really get into gathering leaves...not Aidan! He was having a fantastic time pulling leaves off of the trees! LOTS AND LOTS OF LEAVES!!! It is amazing how fast little hands can move. He was so intent on pulling them off and just dropping them on the ground. Needless to say we have TONS of little leaves that Aidan helped "gather"...hope the tree is okay!

"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, "For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand." (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are an heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

It isn't letting go
its going on.
It isn't only shadows
and it isn't only dawn.
It isn't getting through it
...it's letting it come through me,
not living in the darkness
though the darkness I can see.
Its living with the sorrow
but finding memories sweet.
Its knowing that it takes both sides
to make it all complete.
It's soaking up the sunshine
along with the rain
Its learning to let laughter
live side by side with pain.
Its knowing that the past
wont change a love that's real
or take away the joy you brought
or the sorrow that I feel.
Its knowing tears and laughter
can live on the same face,
and your impression on my heart
can never be erased.
