Remembering Lincoln

This spring, I have been reflecting on the things I went through after losing Lincoln. I have seen others dealing with tragedy, and it reminds me of the feelings I had after Lincoln died. I had a very hard weekend a couple weeks ago. I couldn't sleep, even though I was physically drained. I just couldn't stop thinking about him. I kept focusing on the negative aspects of losing my sweet Lincoln, and not the blessings. I prayed to my Heavenly Father to help me be reminded of the Spirit I felt after his passing, and I do know that prayers are answered. I have felt the blessings of prayer in my life countless times. The following day, in Relief Society, our lesson talked of the millenium, and the great blessing of being able to raise our children when Satan is bound. Risa happened to be the teacher this Sunday. Between tears, she talked about how parents who have lost a child, will be able to raise them from the very age they were at the time they passed away. Trevor and I will not miss one minute with our sweet Lincoln and that is such an amazing blessing to me. I guess I needed to be reminded of what an honor it is to have a celestial baby. He is waiting for us to do our part, and he has and will help us along the way.
