Today, however, as it is Easter I wanted to share something special.
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Because of His suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane we can be forgiven for our sins. Because of His resurrection after His crucifixion we can also be resurrected. We will once again be united, spirit and body. We will be reunited in the flesh with loved ones who have died.
Today we remembered two special children. One of my nephews died the day after he was born severely premature and with a severe infection. One of my nieces died three days after she was born with severe heart and lung malformation. Each of their short lives was a miracle. We remember them often. We look forward with faith to the day we will get to meet these children and get to know them. We have felt the influence of their spirits in our lives.
We released two white balloons this morning. One for each of these special children. I attached a note to each balloon to spread the faith and love with whomever may find these balloons at the end of their journey.
Benjamin and Emma, we love you. We know we will see you again!
Love,
Aunt Janelle, Uncle Mike, and your cousins Kate, Lizzie, and Sabrina
