Just as last Easter was our first without Brother Larry, this Easter holiday was the first without Grandmother and Uncle Randall. Because of this, I found that I now see this holiday differently than in past year. I am so thankful that Jesus died for our sins, giving each and every one of us the gift of forgiveness. Because of this, I will get to see my loved ones again one day in Heaven. There, they are safe from pain and harm. And, they are truly happy, which is exactly what I want for each of them. This Easter, I felt closer to them than I have in a long time, almost as if I could reach out my hand and touch the tips of their fingers. Some days, I miss them so badly that it is hard to make it through the day....but, I do. Jesus rose from the dead on Easter, leaving behind an empty tomb. That will forever be seen as a miraculous thing. So, this Easter, I allowed myself to believe in miracles, because they do happen. They happen every single day.
