relationships...

jon had a better day then the past two days which were horrible..he said he had taken 2 vicadin at 4am..then again not until 3pm and then again not until 10pm..while there the laurels came to visit and sang..mostly half cried half sang- but it was so special! he loved it! thanks ladies!!! his parents were there too..they drove ALL the way there about an hour but more because of traffic and only got to spend about 15 minutes with him..he needed to get ready for bed and the night..so they soon left..
i helped to bathe him and get him ready for the night..we had our companion prayer and then i left..he should be able to sleep good again..
thank you everyone for reading this blog and for taking time out of your busy busy days to think and pray for our family and especially jon...we both can feel your love..and your deep concern..
i cant believe how upside down my life is right now..i decided to make a "list" of things i needed to get done..its nice to have it on paper and scratch things off one thing at a time..and even though my life is upside down..the important things remain the same..my relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, with Jon, with my children, our scripture reading, family prayers, companion prayers...all those things remain the same and intact...for that im SO very grateful! where would i be right now without my relationships...especially with our families and our friends...jon would always say.."it doesnt matter how much money it costs us to go see so and so's baby blessing..when all is said and done..its the relationships we foster that matter and mean something"...that is SO true! take away all of the things we own, do for fun, all that stuff...whats left when we leave is our knowledge that we attained here on Earth and our relationships...im so grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints that has principles of the Gospel one of which is relationships and the importance of family...we have a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother...we are their children..im so grateful i was able to be married in the Temple and sealed to Jon for eternity and to have my children with me in eternity..these simple but profound truths make life worth living ...ESPECIALLY during these trying times!
