Angels Among Us!

In the last few days, we have been thinking about our Belindy more than usual. At her Mom's birthday, I thought of and missed her. The next night, we talked about her before family prayer. I told the girls that Aunt Belindy went to the temple and church even when she was REALLY sick and tired. And because she set such a great example for us, we should all kneel for family prayer and not complain about being too tired, etc. We should try to be more like she was... Then last night, out of no where, Klare asked if Aunt Belindy was in heaven. She has never been willing to talk about this before. I told her that she was and Klare said she missed her. We all talked about how she was one of the funnest people we ever knew and how lucky we were to have her in our family. About an hour later..... Uncle Brent, Justin, and Jordan surprised us all! (And I believe with out a doubt that Belinda was there, too.) They show up unannounced with "the best present EVER!!!"
This incredible water slide is "their early b-day present" says Uncle Brent. Belinda was exactly the same way, she could never wait to give someone a present!
Although we still miss her terribly, Belindy is still touching our lives through the wonderful man she chose to marry and their fabulous boys.
We love you, Belindy! Thank you!!!

What a sweet, thoughtful thing to do! The girls will love this during the summer, and I know Belinda will be smiling "from on high" as she watches!

Wonderful post! I'm so glad to see that Belinda is still with your family. Thanks for the reminder that we all need to try a little harder and do a little better.

Sweet slide too! That thing is HUGE!
