Yesterday Josh and I were able to join our sister at the Temple. She was taking her endowments out. At first I was debating on weather or not we needed to go. I just thought aww well if your mom and Dad are there, that's all that matters. But the more I thought about it the more I felt like we should go, after all she is Josh's favorite!! I knew that if he didn't go her heart would have been broken. He is her BIG BROTHER!! The ONLY BROTHER!! So I met him at work and we drove together.
I knew before the kids left for school, that I was having one of those days!! MOODY! Not feeling good!! Want to just stay home and lounge in sweats. As we got to the Temple I just wasn't feeling good. I thought I was going to pass out. I just kept saying come on not now!! Just wait till I get home. As we sat down and got started I thought that I was going to have to get up and leave. Every time I got up and down I just felt worse! Then I thought for sure some one was going to come up to me and tell me that I had something on me and that I should go to the bathroom!( not a good feeling when you are wearing all white)as while I sat there and talked to myself in my head, I got the chills!! I brushed it off at first, and then it happened again. That's when it hit me!! I knew that Grandpa Jack was there!! For some reason after that I was fine. I was able to not think about it any more, and made it through the session.
I think about Grandpa Jack a lot, I think about my grandpa a lot!! Sometimes It's hard I wonder why all the great men in my life have been taken first. There are some people that I could think of that I would much rather have gone!! Why the ones that mean the most to me.
I hope some day I understand that! I know they are up there watching out for my kids, and I know they are proud!
