One More Angel in Heaven ...


After I wrote my last blog I decided that the next thing I write about would be happy.  And then my friend Les died.  I havent been able to bring myself to write anything since.  My blog feels like it has turned into a list of things that bring me heartache.  Yet, I am so thankful for the fun and spiritual times I have had with Les,  because we had many of both.  Just 8 days before he died I was inspired to ask him to come over and give us blessings.  He came and spent a few hours with us.  It was one of those rare times that no one else was here, just me and the kids.  We talked, and laughed, and he blessed us.  Little did I know that the things he was blessing me with, he would help with from the other side.  After Jon died, Les would call me up just to check on me. He always asked me if I had gone on a date yet =)  When Ariana turned 8 she picked Uncle Les to baptize her.  Thank you Les for your love to me and the kids.  Thank you for being a great example to me and the children.  You taught us to love life and to "charge em". You taught us to love Heavenly Father and be obedient.  You taught us to love our family and serve them.  You taught us how to love our brothers and sisters (everyone) and be kind.  I know Jon must be happy to see you and that you guys are having a great time there in Heaven.  I promise to do my best to help Mary and the kids.  Remember that we still need your help here.  I miss you. Promise to watch over us from Heaven .....
