Grateful for Easter!!!

Today, as you all know is Easter. I feel blessed, because last week Mike's family celebrated Easter (the dinner, Easter egg hunt, candy, etc.) So today, with it being Easter Sunday (without the easter bunny aspect) it just makes me reflect on the true meaning of the day. How truly grateful I am to the Savior, my brother, for giving his life for me. I am so far from perfect, so it is only through my Savior that I can return to live with me Heavenly Father. I feel so spiritually full. We were fed well in church with messages that shared into Easter, and also thoughts shared about being slow to anger. Sadly, this is not something I am very good at. So it gives me a resolve to do better, which I feel we all need. It was a much calmer week in the G homes. Mike and I went to Ryker and Lilly's grave, to see if their headstone is in yet. Sadly, it is not. But I sure gave them a thorough talking to about things going on in our life. Mike or I would say something, and then Lilly's pinwheel would start to whirl. It made us feel like they were listening, and just smiling saying "yes Mom and Dad, we will try our best." And that is all I want to hear, that they hear us and are trying their best to protect and watch over us. What amazing children I am blessed with!

    OH, I believe they are listening, but the question is are we listening to them? I know all the time I am trying to find the hidden actions/words behind anything about Hope.
    I hope that the headstones get placed soon. I know as hard as it was to realize I had to be at the cemetery for my own child, I at least wanted her to be recognized so people would look at that groud as sacred.
    Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
    Hugs,
    Carolyn

    Yes, you are blessed with amazing children. I did not have the pleasure of knowing Lilly, but I knew the beautiful spirit that Ryker carried. You both are amazing and always remember that on the days you doubt. We love you.

    With Hope and Love,
