Eternal Family

Twice, in the last week I have overheard Hailey talk about Marielle with her friends. The first was with her friend Braden. She told him she has a sister in heaven. She said that when she came to earth her spirit stayed in heaven, and that she is waiting for us and she is sad because she misses us. Then today she met a little girl at the store and introduced herself and told her she has two baby sisters Grace and another one who died. It is amazing to me that my kids know they will see her again, and that they do have another sister that is as much a part of our family as they are. They miss her and talk about her often. Their faith is such a strength to me. What a wonderful blessing the temple is, that we can be sealed together forever. This promised truth has special meaning to us, and even to our children.
