I admit I'm in love. It is the reason that my youngest is not up for adoption. It is the reason that my second oldest, the budding artist, doesn't have to be shipped off to boarding school. It is because of #2 that I can't just throw away all writing utensils in the whole house. Praise the man that invented the Magic Eraser. I recently received an email about the dangers of magic erasers. Apparantly some lady scrubbed marker off her child with one and he got all these chemical burns. Don't worry about me. Joy always looks like this.....
I love Magic Erasers too! Be careful though, because they're made out of a fine sand paper and will start to rub the paint off your walls. Happened to me...I know!!! :)
Our little Joy passed away on January 20, 2008. She was 2 years and 3 months old. She died from a rapid onset respiratory virus and passed away in her sleep. She was in the care of her loving grandparents at the time while her parents and older siblings were in Disneyland.
I am so grateful that I started blogging 9 months before she died. These memories of her a a real treasure.
"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude."
~Joseph B. Wirthlin
"Parents who have surrendered the sweetest and smallest flowers from the family's garden need to remember our Heavenly Father. He has promised a special reward to those who now suffer in silence, who spend long days and longer nights through their trying times of bereavement. Our Creator has promised glory. He said, 'For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but nigh at hand.' (D&C 58:4) That promised glory includes the blessing of reunion with each child who has left the family circle to help surviving members of the family to draw nearer to God. Those children still live and are a heritage to the Lord."
