Heaven

There have been several families that have lost a child lately. A few I call friends and then others who used to be in our ward in Rexburg. So many sad stories and heart broken parents. I can't help but think of Kegan and how I personally felt. It's been over 3 years and it still isn't any easier to hear of someone else going through the loss of a child. My heart aches for them and for us. As I was "checking up" on a family that lost their only child last summer I saw a comment someone had made. It included a quote that I liked and wanted to share:

"One way to have a piece of Heaven in your home is to have someone in your home in Heaven."

Before we lost Kegan, I didn't know of anyone who had gone through anything similar. All my friends weren't at that point in their life to start having children. Now that our friends are married couples starting to have families, more and more stories keep showing up. I am grateful for the strength and faith these young families show me. I often talk to Brady about their stories and how I wish I was stronger at that time. I often think "why didn't we do that" or "I wish we would've done that with Kegan." But he reassures me every time...we did what we could and what we felt was right. Days like today I wish I could squeeze his little body and kiss his squishy cheeks.
