Happy Easter!

Why Weepest Thou-Simon Dewey
I love holidays if you haven't noticed yet and Easter is one of my favorites. This year it was even more special to me because of Dad's death. I have never had anyone close to me die and I have realized through this trial that I have never really appreciated the Resurrection like I should. I have never doubted that the Savior broke the bands of death and that he took up His body again and that someday I will die and so someday I will be resurrected but the Resurrection is not just for someday, it is a blessing now and it is helping me get through this hard time. Now I can truly say I am thankful for and have a testimony of the Resurrection. I don't think I would have learned this lesson without experiencing Dad's death. I am so thankful for the Savior and I know He lives! Because He does I will too and so will my Dad! That is why I love Easter! So I hope everyone had a good one!

  1. Your girls look adorable! Thinking about Uncle Steve and my grandfathers that have passed recently made my Easter more special as well. We are so blessed to have the knowledge that we do!

  3. Well said. This year was a lot more meaningful to me as well. I hate that it takes hard times for me to fully realize my blessings and appreciation for the gospel. Those girls are too darling!
