4 and 1/2

Today marks exactly 4 and a 1/2 years since we held our Baby G in our arms and said goodbye. I am thinking of him today, especially with the Christmas season upon us.

I can't help but wonder how our Christmas would have been different with a 4 year old little boy. I imagine this year he would have really caught on to the Christmas spirit. Maybe he would have written his own letter to Santa Clause and helped me make the sugar cookies on Christmas Eve. We would have had extra presents under the tree and would have had to have been extra careful in what we said and how we hid the Christmas gifts to help keep Santa's secret. I wonder if he would have really understood the true meaning of Christmas. He would have participated in our ward's nativity as a shepherd boy.

(Sigh) The most beautiful part though about all of this is that I know that even if I can't have all of those things right now, because of the Savior I will get to have my baby G back in my arms someday. I miss him to be sure, and sometimes it's harder than others. But someday when we are reunited it will be one of the sweetest moments of my life. I am thankful for the blessing of the knowledge of eternal families. If you would like to learn more about the faith that gives me so much hope, click HERE to check out an awesome website.
