Meeting With Angels

We know there are angels in heaven. Our family has one in our immediate family and we feel very lucky., but what about the angels on earth. There are many of them and some I have got to know personally and others I talk with through the Internet. I'm sure many of you may say you know angels on the earth also. You may say that it is your mom, grandma ,sister, or friend and I would agree with you, I have many related to me that I would consider angels on earth also.
I get the privilege of meeting with some angesl tonight, they will be in my home. The angels I am talking about are the moms on the Angel blog I am a part of. These moms would not consider themselves angels and they are some of the most humble people I know. They are angels, they continue to lift one another up as we all struggle with the loss of our angel children. They truck on in life even when they are hurting so much, they continue to raise their families, be a friend and serve others, whether it is in their callings at church or their friends. That counts to me to be an angel on earth. One of these angel moms flew down from Seattle to see her daughter that goes to ASU and another lives right here in Mesa also. I get to be among these great families today and enjoy each others company. I am thankful for these new friends in my life.

Jen I'm so glad you have the extra support of those families. I would imagine it is nice and comforting to have someone to talk to that understands first hand how you are feeling.

Also could Tristyn be any cuter? What a sweetheart.

It never ceases to amaze me the angels the Lord puts in our path for one reason or another! I too know many angels. Jen you are one.

I love this blog and I feel the need to tell you why you are an angel in my life.

I look at Kamber's blog daily! I've learned I can't go without looking at it. This last week my 8month old wouldn't sleep. I don't know why, she just wouldn't. I went a consecutive 48 hours with no sleep and was in terrible spirits, yelling, impatient, etc. That was during the day. However at night as Londyn continued to cry and want out of bed, I willingly got up and held her. I am usually one to let them cry it out, but in my heart I could hear the Lord telling me, "Just hold your baby." Tears of gratitude streamed down my face as Londyn laid on my chest. How grateful I felt to hold her and comfort her fears. Before Kamber's blog I would have been a grouchy mommy telling her how naughty she was for not allowing me to sleep which admitting that makes me seem like an awful mom. I hate why this blog exist, but I am FOREVER changed by it. By your spirit, faith, wisdom, love, courage and just straight truth of the love the mother has for her child(ren).

I'm so glad you get to have your meeting with angels and how very lucky your angels are to have you in their life! Thank you Jen, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.

I am all about finding people who truly know what it is like to be you. They are the most helpful friends you can have because they truly understand your suffering.

I belonged to an infertility group, now belong to a twins group, and hope to find a group for MS. The friends I have made will last a lifetime, because what we shared was very personal.

I know your angel friends are the same for you. They can love you and support you like none of us can because they understand better than we do. We can love you and pray for you, but they can help you!!

We continue to pray for you guys, and hope you are able to carry on. You sure are doing a good job at it that's for sure! Thanks for this wonderful blog that reminds us every day how precious life is.
