Easter is different for me this year. The real meaning of Easter means so much more to me since the passing of our little Afton. To know that we can see her again gives light to the end of a tunnel. I have so much love and gratitude for our Savior Jesus Christ and his perfect example here on earth, for it’s through him that this is all possible. It’s through him that we know life does not end here.
“The Atonement of the Only Begotten Son of God is the crucial foundation upon which all Christian doctrine rests and the greatest expression of divine love this world has ever been given.”
-Jeffrey R Holland
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
“The Savior’s Resurrection assures all of us that someday we, too, will follow Him and experience our own resurrection. What peace, what comfort this great gift is which comes through the loving grace of Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer of all mankind. Because of Him we know we can be with [our loved ones] again.”
-Elder M. Russell Ballard
Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
This Easter we’ll be doing things differently at our house, we’ll be celebrating with the Easter Eggs, the candy and the bunny on Saturday leaving Sunday to be all about the real meaning of Easter…and I’m looking forward to it.
I hope you all have a nice Easter weekend.

Kami, I totally thought of you during a couple conference talks and knew you’d be listening. They were comforting words… and I got teary eyed. What peace it brings to hearts missing loved ones. Enjoy your Easter. 🙂

P.S. My sister was up for Conference this year looking at all the Utah cemetaries looking for Bigler names. 🙂 She found a lot! She was just here talking about it with me. Would love to find out how your hubby is related to my Bigler side of the family. My lines comes through Henry W. and Jacob G…. and Bathsheba Wilson Bigler Smith! I know there are a ton of Biglers though!

I thought of you a lot during conference. It’s so interesting how our perspective changes with each joyful and sorrowful experience we have. I’m so grateful to have learned from your experience as well. Thank you for your words of wisdom that you shave with all of us! Sounds like an inspirational Easter! God bless you all! Love you!

I too thought of you during a few talks during conference. I was eating up all the talks this year. I think that is such a great idea to do all the “fun” activities on Saturday and leave Sunday for celebrating the real purpose!
