Last week was bitter sweet for our family. While Cole received wonderful news, our neighbors and friends were losing a battle after an accident with their 19-year old son, who passed away on Friday. Cole was friends with Joe and although he was older, he welcomed Cole when we moved to the neighborhood. As we experienced this summer, one choice we make can change (in Cole's case) or end your life (Joe). I am grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that we will see our family members again. Our Primary president explained it so well yesterday. Our spirit is our light. When we die, our light doesn't go out it just moves to another place. I know the kids from the Sunbeams all the way up to the oldest child felt the spirt tesify this truth to them. Our hearts ache for the Montgomery family and we pray that they will find peace.

So, while our lives are crazy with three teenagers, I am so very thankful to be busy with my kids. Life can change in a matter of a few seconds, so cherish every moment, the good and the bad, and be glad to have another day with your kids.
