Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. It is a difficult thing to deal with the passing on one so young. Her son will never know the woman who brought him into the world but through pictures and the memories of others

Spektator,

Thank you for sharing this personal story with me. What a sad story and my heart goes out to her husband, child, and their family.

Thank God for the belief and faith we have that we can see one another again someday.

My heart and prayers go out to them, even though I don’t know them.

For my 22 year old niece, June 27th was her last day to live. Driving up to see her husband with her 7 month old son in the car seat, she came around a curve and met a dump truck head on. She was flown to U of U Medical Center but the team of doctors were not able to save her. Her son is recovering but has multiple injuries.

I am reminded again that none of us know the day nor the hour when we will be called from this mortal existence.

We all mourn that passing of a young vibrant life but then go on with our daily routine. This post came to mind as I pondered the seemingly arbitrary amount of time any of us have in this realm.

How would I answer your challenge? I seek to be a known as a ‘penitent and humble seeker of happiness’ to borrow a phrase from Alma.

In a broader perspective, those things that we can take with us through our days and beyond are only those things we give to others. As we give of our time, our encouragement, our love, we create that legacy of which you speak. As we share our happiness with others we leave something of value that carries on forever.
