Thanks Amanda!

Thanks to my wonderful cousin, whom I lovingly refer to as my big sister, I received this sweet poem the other day. It came to me on a hard day, one where I just wanted to lay on the couch and cry (which I did) and I really liked it. Just wanted to share-

A sweet little child
at a party one day,
when toys were being given away,
discovered a broken one,
and with a smile, said:
"I'll take it.
You see, I know my Daddy
can fix anything,
and soon it will be
good as new."

And once, perhaps, in heaven one day
when bodies were being given away,
a sweet little child
discovered a broken one,
and with a smile, said"
"I'll take it.
You see, I know my Father
can fix anything,
and someday it will be
good as new."

Now we, in all our deepest grief -
in searching for that sweet relief -
are clinging to that hopeful knowledge, too

I know that Kynslee will be resurrected and her body will perfect. She will be (and is now) free from the pain and suffering she endured on this earth. I know that our Father in Heaven will fix it, and it will be good as new. Kynslee was so special, and you could tell. There was just something about her that's hard to describe. Perhaps it was angels and even our Savior by her side, helping her make it through it all. She was an angel herself, blessing everyone who knew her. I am so glad she chose to come to earth, even with a "broken" body. She changed Ben and I and taught us more than we thought we could learn. I know she impacted many others as well. It's comforting to know all these things. It's comforting to know that our family is forever. It's comforting to know I will see her again, and when I do, it won't be in the hospital, or hooked up to oxygen or feeding tubes (although I would take that all again if I could!). It's also very comforting to feel her with me every day. I know she is by our side and helping us make it without her.

And just because I love to look at pictures of her-



I just want to kiss those little cheeks of hers!
