Visiting Carey's grave

Monday evening, we visited Carey's grave. We talked and visited. We talked about the cabin, which Carey loved. We listened to someone play their bag pipe nearby, and laughed, and Carey would have laughed along with us watching the old guy do his little jig to the music. The kids ran and played in the grass and Carey would have loved to run along with them as well. We sent off balloons to the heavens. The sky was beautiful and looking over the Heber Valley that evening was beautiful. Carey would have loved all of it.

one year later...

It's been a year since we lost my little brother. It's been a year of heartaches, trials, tears, smiles, laughter, growth, change and peace. I saw him in a home video last night and my heart ached at not being able to get a great big Bear hug from him. We love and miss you Care Bear!!! Not a day goes by that we don't think about you!

The other day, a few of us went up to Midway to see Carey's grave. It was different from previous times that we had gone. No tears of pain were shed. It was peaceful this time. I am so grateful for time and the Spirit that heals our hearts. The Lord knows exactly how to help us through our grief. He knows our hearts.

This September 11th my husband Herb and I are going to be sealed! I am also doing my endowment the week previous. We can do Carey's work too. How exciting! I don't know what Carey is doing up there but I know that he's with me more now than he was when he was alive. He is always going to be my big brother watching out for me!

How blessed we are to have temple work to bind our families together for all eternity!

Hey bud, the family can't wait to get your temple work done in September! Herb and I are getting sealed Sept. 11th. Before I got married dad's blessing was important but I gotta say that you were always my big brother, my protector. When I saw that you loved Herb like a brother, that blessing meant a lot to me! Now Herb is my protector and you are there for me in spirit. thanks bud miss you so much!
