Visiting the cemetery

For activity night on Thursday (I'm the Laurel advisor in our ward), we went to the city cemetery and did grave rubbings. Kind of random, but the girls mostly enjoyed it. While walking around the cemetery, two of the advisors and I came upon the section of the cemetery for babies. It was soooo sad. There were so many tiny headstones and footstones of babies who had lived for only a day or a few months. Some of them couldn't afford headstones and just had little markers. Some you could tell the moms still came to visit twenty-five years later. One set of parents had three little girls who were born and died on the same day - one in 1963, the next in 1966, and the last in 1970.

I am so grateful for little Nathan and his sweet, funny personality. I am glad I get to be his mom for eternity because Chad and I were sealed together in the temple. I am excited to watch him grow and develop in the gospel. I love my baby.
