A first...

Asher got to meet his Great Grandma and Grandpa Conrad when they came to Evanston for a visit! It was such a fun time and the kids really enjoyed getting to play with them! Asher was fascinated with all of Grandma's jewelery...especially her earrings and necklace!

"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.
