Update Coming!

I know I have been a terrible blogger! Sorry! I will have a grand post coming on Christmas and our fun happenings in the next couple days. For now though, I wanted to document a cute conversation I had with Rylee while we were in Milford yesterday at Cody's parents' house.

Rylee: (looking at a picture of Jesus) "Mom, there's another picture of Jesus. He lives in Heaven. Mom, Destri lives in Heaven too! Where's a picture of Destri?"

(I took her into Destri's room and showed her several pictures of Destri).

Rylee: "Mom, when's Destri coming back from Heaven?"

Me: "Honey, Destri's going to be in Heaven for a very long time, but we'll see her again."

Rylee: "Mom, Why did Destri go to Heaven?"

Me: "She died in a car accident honey." (Rylee gave me a confused look). "She crashed her car and got very hurt and died."

Rylee: "Mom, did Jesus crash his car too?"

Me: "No sweetie, Heavenly Father sent Jesus to Earth to teach us how to be good. There were bad people who killed Jesus."

Rylee: "And then Jesus went to Heaven too, huh Mom."

Me: "That's right. When Jesus died he went to Heaven, and then 3 days after he died Heavenly Father resurrected him and he came back to life."

(Rylee thought about this for a minute) Then said (jumping up and down excitedly) "Mom, Heavenly Father will bring Destri back to life too!"

My eyes welled up with tears as I told her that she was right and as long as we choose the right and follow Jesus, Heavenly Father will bring us all back to life.

I am so thankful for my sweet girl and for the example she is to me. Her faith is so simple and strong. I know that she was saved to come forth in these times, and sometimes her stubbornness tests my limits, but I know it will be a great blessing throughout her life.
