The Future is Bright

Wow! Conference was amazing. So many talks based on trials, faith, temples, even grief following death. My thoughts constantly turned to so many women in my life that I am fortunate to know. Women that I am related to and that I have met through this blog. I thought of the similar trials that we share and how each talk might have touched them as well.
I seriously couldn't stop crying throughout the entire morning session on Sunday. I needed to hear everything that was said. I woke up this morning so excited to face life. I have had President Monson's words ringing in my ears, "Your future is as bright as your faith." I am so grateful for everything that I have in my life. I am especially grateful for Micah and that I am his mother. Not only did I get to carry him for the time that I did, but I now have him to help our family through life. A special guardian on the other side that can see and know things that I cannot see and know. I am so very blessed. We have temples and a prophet and prayer and personal revelation. I feel so full and overwhelmed with gratitude. My future will be bright. I know it.

I loved the Sunday morning session too. I couldn't help but think of all of us angel mothers and how those words must have impacted us.

Not only is our future bright here on this Earth, but we also have that bright millennial day to look forward to when all of us will receive our sweet babies back into our arms.

(hugs)

I would have to agree with everything that you have just said. You were very much in my thoughts through all of conference. I felt like the talks were speaking to me and the ones that I have been praying for: especially my dearest friend, who I have been aching for. During one of the talks, I can't remember who, but the thought came to me of how blessed you are to have a perfect child and to know that he has already made into the celestial kingdom, what a great joy that would be to have that assurance. President Monson's words really rang true to me too: "The future is as bright as your faith". So powerful, I love it. I love you and am so happy to hear happiness in your voice. You deserve it. Oh I miss you!!!!

I too loved conference. I cried a lot and thought about all of us Angel mommies. We are so blessed to have these angels. I was so grateful for all the words that were spoken. Our future is bright and I am so glad that you can see it and I can too.

I loved Conference as well! My thoughts were turning to others as well, especially to you. I'm glad you feel so uplifted and motivated for life. I feel the same way. It's a comforting thought to think of Micah watching down on your family and helping you through life. Everything in life is how you react to it. You have been blessed to have Micah in your life and he was so good, too good, too pure, to spend his life here on Earth. Always remember that. :)

That phrase from President Monson stuck out to me, too. I feel so blessed to have what we have, to know what we know.

I love these little pics you've put of Micah on your sidebar. What a beautiful baby, Tifani.

Your sister Dara introduced me to your blog. My name is Emily Scanlan and I grew up in Danville with her husband Dave. I lost my little girl, Jessics when I was 26 weeks pregnant. She had a tumor growing in her chest that grew at such a fast rate it squeezed out her heart and she died of congestive heart failure. I just had the year anniversary of her passing. Dara visits my blog on occasion and said she could see into the future what you might be experiencing in one year. I am so sorry for your loss. I am so sorry that anyone must feel that kind of pain. Thank you for sharing your experience, feelings and most important, Micah. I feel like I know him!! What an angel! The truth that we will see these babies again and they are forever ours is one of the truths that keeps me going!

I thought of you the whole day that day!!! I was so touched by especially the Sunday morning session. It was amazing! I honestly thought...this is for Tifani with almost every talk. I couldn't believe it. I am so grateful for Conference and the inspiration of all the speakers. I always feel spiritually buoyed at the end.
