Remembering Grant

Today was the first anniversary of Grant's due date. He would be a year old today. It's so hard to think about that I usually avoid thinking about him or what he would have been like. I still see him in my dreams. I miss him so much. His birth is still fresh in my mind. I know that he had to come to earth and live for those short months in my tummy because that was his purpose on earth, that was his trial. I know that I chose this in the pre-existance, and I was prepared for it then. I know this, because if I hadn't chosen this or been prepared for it, I would not have survived it. I believe that my faith has grown because of that experience, because I know that Grant is in Heaven with our Father and is being looked after until I can be with him again. If I didn't know that I just know that everyday since his birth and death would be unbearable. We all love you Grant and your brothers and sister miss you too!

  1. Thank you for sharing that. It literally brought me to tears. I am sad we were not there to give you a hug and show you we care, but know that we do. Love, Chami

  2. I can't believe how fast time goes. This situation will always have a spot in my heart. I was about 6 months pregnant with Parker and it hit home for me. I am truely amazed at how we are given situations in our life and we can actually handle them even when we think we can't. I definitely learned that with this last trial we faced. I'm so glad to be a member of this church to know that we will be with our families again. Thanks for sharing this. It too brought me to tears.
