It's been a month since Megan left. It's kind of hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it has only been a month--this month has felt like an eternity. I guess that sadness mixed together with stress equals a potion of endlessness.
I'm so glad that I know for a FACT she's doing well.
Gotta love Priesthood blessings, scriptures, prayers, and the HG :)
I know I surely do!

I found this online, lds.org and I felt like I would share it. I'm only putting a tidbit of Elder Russel M. Nelson's talk from May 2005.
"Death is a necessary component of our eternal existence. No one knows when it will come, but it is essential to God’s great plan of happiness. Thanks to the Atonement of the Lord, eventual resurrection is a reality and eternal life is a possibility for all humankind. That possibility becomes a reality as we obey God’s law. He said, “Except ye shall keep my commandments, … ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” One day we will be judged by the Lord and go to our own mansion prepared in our Father’s heavenly house. Celestial glory awaits those who have been faithful to God’s gentle commands.
Brothers and sisters, we live to die and we die to live—in another realm. If we are well prepared, death brings no terror. From an eternal perspective, death is premature only for those who are not prepared to meet God.
Now is the time to prepare. Then, when death comes, we can move toward the celestial glory that Heavenly Father has prepared for His faithful children. Meanwhile, for sorrowing loved ones left behind—such as our family and me—the sting of death is soothed by a steadfast faith in Christ, a perfect brightness of hope, a love of God and of all men, and a deep desire to serve them. That faith, that hope, that love will qualify us to come into God’s holy presence and, with our eternal companions and families, dwell with Him forever. Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

And amen from me too...♥
Did those scriptures sound familiar? Look in the last days of Christ's life in John. I know you will remember them when you see them. I will never forget the tenderness I felt while studying those verses for seminary.
Thinking of you, as always!
Love you tons!
AHHHHHHMEN TO THAT! :)
Thank you for sharing. It means a lot to me and my family that so many loved Megan. She loved you too. She is happy now, and even if we can't be happy at this very moment, in time, we will come to be happy for her. She is in very good hands!
