Just thinking....

Do you ever think about what happens when we die? What do you do on the other side? I wonder if you are still doing callings, or living in family groups? Do they still go to church? Do they still have struggles? I have alot of beliefs but sometimes I want proof!!! Sometimes when I think of my sister Chelsie I have such peaceful feelings. I think she must be here but its nothing like I thought it would be like when someone you know very well dies. I thought you would be able to recognize their familiar spirit. But it is not really like that for me. Sometimes I feel the spirit so strong and I think that she must be trying to tell me things. But I am not very good at it.

Today in church I sat behind these two sisters. One of the sisters was probably 16 or so and her little sister was about 5 or 6. You could just see how much they loved each other. I had a hard time concentrating on the speakers because the memories just came flooding back. When I was a teenager she was my motivation to be good. Just seeing how much she adored and looked up to me helped me to make good choices. I would never disappoint her! She was my baby! I thought I raised her and my Mom always let me think that. (Even though after having my own kids I realized all the work that you do for your kids) She was such a blessing in my life. She unified our family. She helped me in ways that I never realized until she was gone.
I wonder if she is as lonely as we are for her. I'm sure she has loved ones there but not us. Does she feel the "ache" like we do? Is she with us alot or too busy with other responsibilities. I know she is happy. That much I know! But sometimes I am happy too although the ache just never goes away.




I think I would do just about anything to see her again. I wish I could just talk to her for a few minutes, ask her a few questions, laugh about funny things, cry about some sad things, and just be with her. I miss her so much. Someday....

  2. All of the comforting words in the world are not enough. It just hurts. The little things set it off and there is no stoping it until it has run it's course. Hang in there.

  3. I didn't realize she was your baby. I know how that is when an oldest child feels like they raised the younger one. My personal opinion is that she is happy and has more perspective, so she doesn't feel the ache like we do. I hope it's true.

  4. Joseph F. Smith "The veil which separates us from the spirit world sometimes seems very thin to us...However, surely those who have passed beyond, can see more clearly through the veil back here to us than it is possible for us to see them from our sphere of action. I believe we move and have our being in the presence of heavenly messengers and heavenly beings. We are NOT separate from them...we are close to our kindred, to our ancestors, to our friends, and associates and co-laborers who have preceded us into the spirit world...They see us better than we know them...I claim we live in their presence, they see us, they are solicitous of our welfare, they love us now more than ever...for they see the dangers that beset us; they can comprehend, better than ever before, the weaknesses that are liable to mislead us into dark and forbidden paths. They see the temptations and the evils that beset us in life and the proneness of mortal beings to yield to temptations and to do wrong; hence their love for us. The solicitude for us, and their love for us, and their desire for our well being, must be greater than that which we feel for ourselves." That's what I believe. Thinking of you and loving you! D&D
