I believe there are times in our lives when we take for granted the companionship of those we love... We just don't realize how much until they are gone...

Today, tonight, every night since then have been hard. I have been trying to block it out because I know we made the right decision. Most everything is hidden with a smile and "I am OK."

Why are the right decisions the hardest to cope with sometimes?

Today I did a bunch of names in the temple just so I wouldn't have to go home. I plan things out so that I have something to do and I can stay busy.

There are things in our lives that are a matter of patience and learning life-lessons... Just when we think we have the lesson mastered, the Lord throws a wrench in to see if we truly have.

A friend of mine posted a reply today. I think I offended her...

In no means was my post directed at women who have paused their educational goals for a loftier role of Mother. I am not sure if she realizes how blessed she is to have a beautiful family and three wonderful children. The eternal lessons she is learning and teaching are far more valuable than any piece of paper will ever be.

Those are things only some of us can wait for, prepare for, and/or dream about. So, in that time, we fill our lives with work and school to help us stay focused on one day obtaining such a wonderful blessing.

Mothers are those who shape the face of our world and anything extra we learn as women on the way is a bonus.
