A Miracle

On the day of Georgia's funeral in Salt Lake City, we as a family gathered at our home after the funeral and the beautiful meal prepared for us by the Relief Society (the LDS women's organization).  The mood was quiet, pensive, tender and so to walk outside and see a gorgeous double rainbow right there in our backyard felt like a gift from the Lord.  It was like a reminder that He was really in charge and it would be okay.  This picture doesn't do it justice, but we think of it as our own little miracle, our tender mercy.


I thought I'd also include the program from the funeral in Salt Lake City.  It was a meeting unlike any I've ever attended and we were so blessed to hear from so many incredible people that day, including a surprise visit and talk from President Monson.  Hopefully you can read it.  We were missing two brothers who were on missions for our church: Adam who was in Korea and David who was in Portugal at the time.  Their own experiences through it all are remarkable as well (how does a young man take the news over the phone in a foreign country that his sister suddenly passed away?).  Maybe they will share them sometime here on the blog because they were both so strong, it's inspiring.
