Paige...

I came home Friday night to catch up on some sleep but still didn't get as much as I wanted of course how can you when your mind is spinning. On Saturday Keith took her on a long wagon ride around the unit. She loved it. She had some special visitor's Grandma and Grandpa Bloomfield, Aunt Merilee, Uncles Kent and Rick and Shaylee and Amberly. Rylan and I stayed home to watch General Conference. I truly needed each one of those wonderful messages. I look forward to listening to them over and over again. Today she is doing good. Keith got thrown up on so he said he is wearing a hospital gown until his laundry is finished washing. She is again enjoying a fun day with her daddy in the wagon. He is so amazing! I sure wish the weather would cool off. I was really sad not to plant flowers this weekend...at least we got our Halloween decorations up. It was very fun! The kids really loved it! I don't have a camera so I will have to take some later. I am grateful for this wonderful weekend to spend time with my kids. It was great to visit with Keith's family too.

"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 a heritage to the Lord."
Russell M. Nelson

President John Taylor once said: "that the best explanation he could offer why so many little children among the Saints were called away, notwithstanding the great faith and power of the priesthood exercised to keep them here, was that they were bright and noble spirits who held important positions in the kingdom of God in the spirit world, from which they could not long be spared., They were given brief furloughs, long enough to come to earth, take upon themselves bodies of flesh and bone that they might be prepared for a resurrection to a kingdom of glory; and after a short experience in mortality were called back to resume important labors in a higher sphere."

Joseph F. Smith said:"Joseph Smith taught the doctrine that the infant child that was laid away in death would come up in the resurrection as a child; and pointing to the mother of a lifeless child, he said to her: ' You will have the joy, the pleasure, and satisfaction of nurturing this child, after its resurrection, until it reaches the full stature of its spirit.' There is restitution, there is growth, there is development, after the resurrection from death. I love this truth. It speaks volume of happiness, of joy and gratitude to my soul. Thank the Lord he has revealed these principles to us."
