I am so grateful for my life! When I read this quote by Sister Hinckley I knew what my next post would be. I have so many wonderful experiences that are tucked away in my heart. Many of them because of all of you! I have shed my share of tears, laughed until I hurt, worried myself sick, and basked in the glory of another day. I have marveled at all that I have been given by a generous Heavenly Father who I knew loved and cared about me. Throughout Grandpa's illness as hard as it was there was never a moment that I didn't have something to remind me that everything would be okay. When Grandpa died I was so shocked by how much he had struggled and in an instant he was at peace. I hope that when he reported in that he was able to say, "Wow! What a ride." I don't believe our lives should be a piece of cake. It should involve stubbed toes, hurt feelings, painful experiences, disappointments and trials. But sprinkled among those will be times of incredible happiness and joy. I'm not in a hurry to have this journey end but everyday I plan to say Wow, what a ride! I'm practicing for when I see grandpa again!
