Celebrate Life

Four years ago today my sister passed away after battling with her body for 11 years.
She was 14.
So, today is a day for me to celebrate life
and to remember:
My life is a gift
my life has a plan.
My life has a purpose
in heav'n it began.
My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God's light to direct me from birth.

Thats so sweet. I remember in HS going over to your house and you and Danette telling me that she was the angel in your lives. I've always remembered that :)

That must have been so hard to lose a sister. I can hardly believe that it is nearing the year anniversary of my father's death. Thanks for reminding me to celebrate.

Wow. I had no idea.

I don't know what to say. Celebrating life, and hers, is a wonderful way to honor her.

Hey Diana! I blog stalked you from Katie and Dan's blog. I hope you don't mind! What a sweet post. I am glad the challenges your sister had has helped you increase your faith. I am sure she is so happy to see that her life could do that for you!

What a sweet tribute. I remember meeting your sister once at your bridal shower at Amy's house. I thought it was sweet how she played toys with the cousins. I'm sure she taught your family a lot about love and sacrifice. I think those Primary songs are so profound too.

I remember meeting your sister at some occasion as well. Good to have the gospel eh. We live a couple hours west of you in Gunnison!
