I have made a new resolve to sit at my computer more and record some of the things I don't ever want to forget and share some of the thousands of pictures I have on 3 full hard drives. I keep thinking to myself that oh I will remember that or I will write that down and then I don't. So I am starting today with one random picture of Lucie and something I need to remember! I was talking to my mom today and we were talking about reunions and how we are excited to go but she got to thinking how she will miss having my dad there and my Grandma and we both got a little teary eyed. My mom then said "do you think those in heaven are too busy to look down at us while we are having a reunion?" (We always joke that every year when we go camping at warm river and it rains that is Grandma Clark crying that she isn't there with us.) In response to my mom's question I told her again about the experience we had at Christmas... How when we were opening presents and Lucie said to Emme (who at the time had just opened a present) "well what do we have here?" It took me a little off guard hearing it but at that moment I remember having a warm feeling. It really wasn't a big deal but that phrase didn't sound anything like Lucie would say. It in fact was something I remember my dad saying EVERY SINGLE christmas growing up. We would open a present and he would say "well what do we have here?" and snap a picture... So in response to my mom's question about if our loved ones are too busy to look down on us I said I really believe that not only do they look down on us I am sure they spend a little time with us as well. I am sure they are just as concerned about us in heaven as they were when they were with us on earth. I like to think that I have a few angels watching over me and my little family. It certainly helps me feel heaven around me and remember that heaven is closer than we realize! I am grateful for the Gospel that I can be with my family forever, it helps me want to live a little better and do a little better every day!

Writing it Down!

This made me tear up. Thanks for sharing. =) I miss my Grandpa Juan a LOT during Christmas time, and Eliza always helps me remember him.
