A few weeks ago a sweet friend in our ward came up to me at church and handed me this gorgeous bouquet of roses, smiled, an then returned to sit with her husband and their two young kids. I was so surprised, it wasn't any special occasion... At least not one that I could think of. Attached was a note that brought tears to my eyes and more gratitude than I can say into my heart. She let me know our pain and loss wasn't forgotten, that they were praying for peace and comfort to come into our lives. 

To her it may have seemed so simple to hand me some roses and a loving note, but to me it meant the world. Just to know people still think about us and acknowledge our heartache. Time passes but the pain is still just as sharp and deep... We may look like life is fine, like we're back to "normal" or whatever, but life will NEVER be normal again for us. So to know that someone else realizes that, pays attention, and sees our pain... Lets just say that angels aren't only in heaven. They walk among us every. single. day. And I am incredibly grateful for that. 

So thank you sweet friend <3 I've been thinking about your kindness every day since and it's made a huge impact on me. 

Choose not to just think about others, but to act on the impressions and ideas that come into your heart. *preaching to myself here!!* You never know how much just showing you care can impact someone.
