My sweet sisters in law Jessica Craig and Jaimee Williams Tuft sent me this a couple days back and I’ve looked at it everyday since and get a lump in my throat an my eyes start to sting every time. But they’re not tears of sadness, nor are they tears of joy... maybe something in the middle? I’m touched by the way they thought of us and our sweet Angel. Thinking she’ll be forgotten amongst the hustle and bustle of everyday life and especially during the holidays is like a dagger to my heart. But when people acknowledge she was here, she was with us for a moment on earth and will be with us for eternity in heaven it brings me a happiness I can’t even put into words.. this whole grieving thing is really freaking weird and confusing, I have so many emotions that I’m not sure even have a name. But there is one emotion I have right know that I can name and that’s Gratitude. I’m grateful for an amazing family who loves us and our sweet baby girl. I’m grateful for a Savior who made having an eternal family possible. I’m grateful a crafty sister who made this beautiful reminder for us to keep in our home. I’m certainly not grateful Willow isn’t physically with us, but I am immensely grateful she can be with us in spirit. 💜 Thank you Jess & Jaimee! Love you
