Memorial Day.
Just wishing everyone a good Memorial Day. Today is a time to reflect on the loved ones that we have lost. I have been lucky not to have had too many loved ones that I know pass on yet which I am very grateful. I have lost my Grandma Pace whom I loved very much. She was a loving and kind woman. She would be there for anything that any of her children or grandchildren had going on. She would come to dance performances and was also at every baseball, softball etc game whether it was sun, ran or snow. She was always there on the bleachers cheering us on. We all love you very much. Also thinking about my precious babies, Brooklyn and Brandon. Born September 3, 2005. Sometime my life does not feel quite complete without them. There will always be a place in our hearts for them. But I also know they are where they are supposed to be. I am grateful everyday that they do not have to face the hardships of this earth. They were too special to be here and were called back to our Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for that knowledge and for the Plan of Salvation to know that one day we will be reunited. I just hope that I can live my life the right way so that I can be with them someday. We love you and think of you often. Our hearts go out to all of you who have lost ones you loved and are mourning on this day. But know that you will also one day be reunited.

Kelly - what a great post. Thanks for reminding us to stop and remember our loved ones often and to especially remember we can be with them again! I never quite knew about your babies though. When you were my visiting teacher, I gathered bits and pieces, but had no idea that that happened in 2005. You are an amazing woman and the best little mommy!!
Hey how are you? I was so glad to find your blog also, your little guys are soooo cute, they are getting so big!! WOW they are darling. How's Vegas? We need to come and see you guys!! I hope all is well with you guys!!! We miss seeing you.
Hey Kelly
It might seem weird for me to comment on such an old post but I found this poem and I wanted to give it to you. It is kind of sad but really neat at the same time.
You are a Special Little Spirit
"You're a Special Little Spirit," the all great Master said,
As he gentlycaressed the curly blond hair of the Little Spirit's head
"You need to go toEarth to spend some time, you know,
A place I send most Spirits to be tested, to learn, and grow."
The Little Spirit, in sadness, slowly bowed his head,
And from his eye a tear did steal and down his cheek it shed.
"Don't you fret now little one, I won't let you stay too long,
I'll bring you back to help me here, You'll hardly know that you've been gone.
You're my choicest Little Spirit, you're the apple of my eye."
And he wiped the tear and gently kissed His Little Spirit good-bye.
"I'm back," the Little Spirit whispered, as he climbed onto his Master's knee,
And the Master said, "I told you, you would not be long away from me."
And then, the Lord, He noticed still another tear welled in his eye.
"Why are you so sad, Little Spirit, whatever should make you cry?"
"I'm glad I'm back," the Little Spirit said, "but Master you must surely know,
When Your Angel came to get me, I did not want to go.
I know You said You needed me, and that I'd be gone the shortest while,
But Lord, couldn't I have had a little longer earthly trial?"
The Master let the Little Spirit slip down from off His knee,
He firmly took the little hand and said, "Come walk with Me."
The Little Spirit and the Lord slowly walked hand in hand,
As the Master explained his special part in the great and marvelous plan.
"Now,Lord, I don't mean to argue, I understand that you needed me home.
But I left in such a hurry, I left everyone hurting and so alone.
I didn't let my earthly parents know how much I loved them so.
I was too small to tell them Lord, how will they ever know?
They feel they've been cheated, and in a way,so do I.
Not getting to share any more than we did, how can I ever tell them why?"
"Little Spirit, I know your heart is heavy with this message you need to share.
But you need not worry anymore, I'll watch over your loved ones there.
I'll send them loving comfort as a strong and helping hand.
I'll contend and give peace to their aching hearts, so they will understand."
The Little Spirit looked up at her Master and said "Thank You for explaining it to me.
And could you please tell them that I'm safe and happy, and that someday They'll be here with me?"
"Yes," said the Lord with a smile and a nod, I'll tell them all that I can.
Then the others came to see the Little Spirit, as the Lord let go of his hand.
He said, "I'll tell them that you're pure, as pure as Heaven's Gold,
That I needed the warmth of your perfect soul to keep Heaven from getting cold"
