"Lucky"

This was the first documented smile I took of Wyatt

Last week while we were up north we attended the temple. I'm so grateful for the peace and comfort I feel there. While we were waiting for family members in the celestial room I watched another family as they waited for their daughter to come into the room. It was her first time at the temple. You could see the excitement in their eyes as they waited for her. The happiness and joy was almost tangible.

This scene brought a picture into my mind of when Wyatt left this earth. I'm sure there were many people that were anticipating his arrival. He must of been excited to see them again because he left very quickly. I'm sure it was a great and wonderful reunion. One I wish I could have been a part of.

I came across a quote the other day by President Brigham Young he says:

"We have more friends behind the veil than on this side, and
they will hail us more joyfully than you were ever welcomed by your parents and
friends in this world; and you will rejoice more when you meet them than you
ever rejoiced to see a friend in this life; and then we shall go on from step to
step, from rejoicing to rejoicing, and from one intelligence and power to
another, our happiness becoming more and more exquisite and sensible as we
proceed in the words and powers of life."

As a mother that gives me great comfort knowing Wyatt is being taken care of by so many wonderful people that are in the spirit world. I just think of the amazing grandparents from both sides of our families that are with him. He is in good hands. Knowing this comforts me but I still wish he was in my hands. I miss him so much.

I started thinking about how Wyatt gets to be there when each of our family members returns to the other side. What a "lucky" boy. He will get to experience that joy and rejoicing again and again. I'm sure when Derek and I leave this life he will be the first one there to greet us. What a sweet reunion that will be. He has gone to prepare a place for us.
