Hi Kychelle,
I just wanted to tell you how beautiful YOU and your family are. Thank you so much for making the long trip here to Utah, and spending some time with us. You'all bring such JOY to our HOME. You are magical, and your energy and love feels like heaven is right here among us. Thank you ...Thank YOU!
I was so very sad to hear about your pregnancy (can't seem to spell miss-carry) loss in November. I wanted to blink those tears from my eyes when you talked briefly about it today... but I didn't want to seem too emotional. I've not had that happen to me(miss-carry), but I am sure with the love you and Gabe have for your family, it was a very hard thing. I wasn't there to give you hugs at the time, but I am sending you my hugs and loads and loads of love now. We have to do some pretty serious emotional stuff in this life, and I know we learn and grow from every breath that is given to us.
You are such a strong and beautiful lady, and I am so very proud of you for all you do as a wife, mother and daughter. You are amazingly gifted with the spirit. I treasure having you for my daughter and my friend.
While raising you as a little girl, I was often told by ladies who had raised their girls that you would become one of my best friends as the years pass. It has come true... You, Annie and Chrissy have become my best girl friends!
Spending time with you means so much to my heart. I feel so lucky to live among our Heavenly Father's most choicest spirits, you who have weathered the storms of growing up and finding who you are, while remaining true to "whose you are." I'm so proud that you and Gabe found each other. Gabe has a lot of love in his heart for you and the girls. He is such a fun, smart and spiritual person. I enjoy the time we spend with him.
Dad and I were just talking about that a couple of weeks ago... how blessed we are to have the family we have. One day I was missing you'all so very much. I didn't know it. I wasn't focusing on you like "oh, I'm missing Kychelle." I was just saying my prayers and while I was asking my Heavenly Father to bless and watch over you and your family so far away, I started to cry... and I couldn't stop. So I stopped saying my prayer and blew my nose, dobbed my eyes with toilet paper (I hope you are laughing as you vision my newly pressed on mascara running down my face!!). I knelt back down to finish and a warm feeling came over me (I love it when that happens) and I felt my Heavenly Father wrap his warm arms lovingly around me. I knew that He knows my heart. He knows me as His daughter. When I felt His arms release me, I could almost see He and our Heavenly Mother holding hands with adoring eyes looking upon me. Trials over the years have helped me have a special knowlege that I have a Heavenly Father and Mother who love me very much. I know they love you too.
Rene Jones, my young women's leader from long ago, told me once that after all the hard and loving work of being a mom (or parent) comes "Pay Day."
I feel like a Zillion-aire today!!!! I have found my Pay Day!
Hugs & Love... and SEE YOU'all soon.
