Little Angels


It has taken me a long time to work up to this post.  The things that have happened to my family over the past little bit have been ... well... amazing yet tragic.  We were shocked to get the news at midnight on January 30th while we were in St. George that Nate and Becca's babies had come early.  We decided as a group to head home first thing the next morning.  None of us slept because of our worries and the unknown.  The drive home was long...  Over the next few days we were overwhelmed with the love of family here and beyond the veil.  I have personally never felt closer to the spirit or to heaven.  The precious lives of Taylor and Ryder were enjoyed for just a few days but have left an impression on me that will last forever!  Watching Nate and Becca's strength was mind boggling! Words cannot express the feelings I had seeing these precious little angels with their mom and dad! Nate and Becca were so tender and loving!  It was amazing to see the incredible miracles and tender mercies that went hand in hand with this experience!  Our family seemed to truly bond and grow closer as we prayed and cried together.  Thank you Taylor and Ryder, you perfect, perfect children for choosing our family to come to!  I can't wait to see you again and smother you with hugs and kisses!  We are truly lucky to have been able to be touched by angels!  XOXO sent up to Heaven!!

They ARE our little angel babies, aren't they? Thanks Sherri. You spoiled them for the few days they were with us :). I'm sure they'll hug you and thank you when they see you again, too.
