Families Can Be Together Forever


"I have a family here on earth.

They are so good to me.

I want to share my life with them through all eternity.

Families can be together forever

Through Heavenly Father’s plan.

I always want to be with my own family,

And the Lord has shown me how I can.

The Lord has shown me how I can."


I chose to post the words to this song because they express so eloquently my testimony of eternal families. These simple words have filled me with great peace today. The passing of my mother (9 years ago) still brings me much sorrow, yet I have found, through the Atonement of Christ, tremendous joy that lessens the pain and makes me rejoice at the thought of being reunited with her someday.

Holly, assuming that the picture is a picture of your family, you look a lot like your beautiful mother.:)

I have been thinking about you this week and hope that you are doing well. Love you.
Remember at Ricks when your mom bought bunches of ripe bananas? I came home to find the two of you peeling, wrapping, and freezing them for our protein shakes. That was so thoughtful of her.
