I am not sure why, but I really have been missing Katie this week. I have thought about her many times wondering what it would be like if she was here. What is really strange is that her being dead still seems unreal to me. I don't know if it will ever really feel like a part of life. It seems weird that we had her and then we don't.
I gave blood on Tuesday and that always makes me think of her. To think of the pints and pints of blood that she needed just to survive another day, and hoping that whoever gets my blood will make it through another day.
Then we got to go to the temple on Saturday. That was such a blessing to me. We went with many friends from church and just having them with me is always special. Brad and I got to take a special part in the ceremony and I really feel that Katie was there with us. That was the strongest impression I have ever received about her and I am grateful she let me know that she was there. I just miss her so much. I am grateful to be working with the young women at church and I am sure they don't know how much I enjoying spending time with them. All I know is that Heavenly Father knows what he is doing.
Wish me luck as I begin my summer classes this week!
I am so happy for your temple experience!

ReplyDeleteOkay - let's try this again. (I'm the deleted post because I was working on the RS account and forgot to change and log in as me!) So what I said was: Hey - I was just on the ward website and saw that the picture of Katie's tree in front of the church is on the homepage - neat!
