UNITY

Unity

"How Good and How Pleasant It is ... to Dwell Together in Unity"

Last Sunday in Relief Society, the lesson was on unity. The teacher asked if any could share an example, they had seen, where unity had been demonstrated. A sister, who had attended Jack's funeral, commented that she had seen what appeared to her to be unity in action, at the funeral service. She said that she remembered thinking: "I am seeing a family totally pulling together and unified."

I didn't realize our family unity was so obvious. Today as the fog of the situation is beginning to slightly lift, I look back and count a united family as a huge blessing. Love and understanding for one another was demonstrated. There was wide sharing of emotions, feelings, and concerns. An outpouring of love and unity, from family members, never to be forgotten.

Life is NOT Fair

"Life is NOT Fair" James E. Faust

It sure does hurt to watch your baby girl bury her baby.

I do not believe the grief will ever end. I believe I will miss little Jack all of my remaining days. One day, I will learn to set aside the raw emotion, so I can go on with life. But I know the grief can and will flood back with all its force at moments when it is least expected. I will forever call those moments Jack attacks.

I am having a Jack attack right now!

Happy Birthday

Ann Marshall Harris

DOB 12/19/75

My girl was born on a Friday morning. The following Thursday was Christmas. Christmas 1975 was the best Christmas ever!

I LOVE this girl.

When Ann was just 6 months old, she was injured in a very traumatic accident. Her skull was fractured in several places, and she suffered a concussion. Fortunately she made a full recovery. However, when it was "the normal" time for Ann to start talking and communicating, she didn't! She didn't talk, and she didn't smile. She was pretty stoic. I prayed and prayed that she would start talking, and in time, my prayers were answered. Once she started talking, she NEVER stop. In fact, one of her many talents, is her "gift of gab".

Beautiful inside and out!

Straight from Heaven
